The Bulbul birds resident in our garden follow a routine with regard to visiting the flight stations. One routine in the morning, at day break, is to perch in the tallest palm tree in the garden and take a 360 degree view of the land and air space around!
Once that routine is over, there is a long stretch of bird calls. It is occasional when another Bulbul comes in response, but there are reciprocal Bulbul calls from different parts of the garden.
The Bulbuls are the earliest to start their flight movements at day break. This is the way they connect with the environment each morning. The bird calls when reciprocated to a bird call from a distance, carries a similar tone. Its content is communication!
When I noticed another Bulbul arrive to be perched near the feeding station, I knew that it was a physical presence in response to the bird call of the Bulbul form the palm tree.
The language of birds has a social appeal to other avians.
Even a pair responded to the bird calls and came to be perched near to the earlier one who arrived.
The avian language of cordiality is an example of communicating behaviour!
A message worth considering!
