DexterBase 1 #1 March 6, 2005 I was just outside and it's not light out yet. The sun is going to rise in a little while but the horizon is still dark. The birds have just started to sing. How do they know it's about to get light? Do they have super-awesome time telling abilities? Do they sense a shift in temperature that hints the sun is about to rise? (This doesn't make any sense to me because it is usually coldest in the time before sunrise) How do they know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dzdiva 7 #3 March 6, 2005 I don't have an answer to your question, but I love to wake up to that. In the summer when I sleep with my window open, I usually wake up just before dawn...it's nice to lay there in bed and listen to that."It's not just a daydream if you choose to make it your life..."

It's because birds are reincarnated human beans, and since the last car they most likely got a ride in was a BLACK hearse....POOPIE on you! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DickMcMahon 0 #18 March 7, 2005 In suburban London this time of year, the birds are very loud in the morning. People refer to it as the “morning chorus”. Buried within the sounds you can hear a “cuckoo” every now and then, which leads me to believe that’s how they know what time it is to start the concert. They have cuckoo clocks!
