    this bird sings... ALL NIGHT LONG!

    and all day pretty much.

    i live in north texas, and in my neighbor's yard there is a bird... that sings almost 24 hours a day. whenever i am home, whether it be 2 pm or 2 am it is always singing!

    what sort of birds do this? it's tweeting and chirping, really loudly, sometimes keeping the same high pitched note for 10 seconds in a row. it's pretty sounding, but i have lived here 10 years and never heard anything like it.

    is it just because it is spring and they're nesting? did it migrate here? i'm sorry but i have no clue what it looks like.... but this bird is on a 24 hour party train. it's CRAZY!

     and no worries, i adore animals, and am aware of the laws protecting migratory birds in the united states. i'm not looking to drive it away, i am just wondering what crazy bird it is.

    any ideas??

     

    thanks!

    Welcome to Whatbird!

    It's a little late for birds to be mating right now. I think it's a northern mockingbird because they're very vocal. You mentioned tweets, chirps and high pitched notes and its noisiness? That's what they're like. If you're lucky enough to see the bird, you'll see a gray songbird with a long tail.

    Actually, it doesn't take much luck to see a Mockingbird -- they are FAR from shy! Geeked Welcom to Whatbird. Where are you in N. Texas? Though I live in D.C. I am originally from Dallas....
