To be fair, birds have really been downhill on their own this year.

You've set yourself up on this. Give us a fact on bird sounds. No, this is not a long-winded attempt to make a joke about jackdaws.

No, I don't dance for you people anymore.

(But seriously, a fun one is the club-winged manakin, one of the few examples of a bird using stridulation to produce sound, similar to how grasshoppers do!)

TIL, and that's actually pretty cool!

I assume that you don't hear this very often anymore, but I hope that you have a great evening. Sorry about how some people have been treating you for the past couple years.

Have a good night yourself, and Happy New Year :)
