SP17	Starlings, blue tits and blackbirds - can live to over 20

My numerous birds in the tree outside my bedroom window wake me often at 4 in the morning as the street lights fool their internal alarm clocks. I think the blackbirds are the main culprits. I don't think the robins sing. I have thrushes too and chaffinchs. Pigeons coo, naturally, and the odd jay squawks. There are rooks and crows in the park who sometimes pop over to say hello. In my (nearly) 50 years in my home I'm convinced they are the same birds (though they cannot be). The robin has the same individual marks. Is this possible? Can birds live 50 years? Doubt it - but the descendants may return to the place where they grew up maybe?

Aeolian Hall	I mainly dislike radio parrots. They were a major pain during my youth. Because of Percy Edwards. Producers knew that Percy did a parrot impression. So a parrot was written into just about every radio sitcom and sketch show of the 60s and 70s. And it was always very, very, irritating. I didn't mind the dog episodes ('Book Percy!') but the parrot episodes ('Book Percy!'), oh dear oh dear! It was like chalk on a blackboard.

I can see their appeal though. unpleasant noise?? the birds in Oz positively squawk as though on steroids. I miss them when I'm not here.I love hearing the chattering birds in the morning
