Today I woke up with the most wonderful sound I ever heard. Its very natural and soothing to the soul, I just heard the sound of the chirping birds, as if they were greeting me good morning with warm welcome and much enthusiasm. I realized it was long ago that I appreciated the chirping sounds, there were there every day, its just that I was too busy to listen.

I always hear the chirping of the birds most of the time since our place was near to the park. I like to hear the chirping of the birds because it reminded me our lovely province where you can see lots of different kinds of birds.Birds chirping make me feel happy everyday because it likes music into my ears.

Its a reminder that God created all these things for His glory, the birds are also glorifying God and singing to God through their chirping. thank you so much for sharing and have a nice day.

Hello Zelmarq Mrs. Page and I wake to the chirping of the birds daily. We sleep with our windows open, and we can hear them in the mornings. Most of the time it is quite pleasant to hear them outside, chirping away. I imagine that they are greeting their bird friends and neighbors and just enjoying the day. Some times, however, it seems as if one or two of them have awoken on the wrong side of the nest, as they sound quite quarrelsome. Sometimes they are so loud that they will wake me from my slumber. Just this week, two seagulls were on the rooftop and they were having quite the conversation. They were incredibly loud! But they were fun to hear and I wondered what they were talking about. I am glad to hear that you had such a good experience listening to the birds chirping for you. Peace

Thank your page turner, maybe they were no chirping for me alone, whether im there or not they will always be chirping, but seems that it was such a soothing sound early in the morning.

It is good to notice these things in our lives, and to be soothed by its presence.

I hear birds chirping on a daily basis. My own and the ones outside! I also hear roosters crow throughout the day...and night as well. Makes me wonder if they ever sleep! LOL The chirping of birds is a pretty sound...when I'm awake. When I'm trying to sleep it can be rather annoying! LOL Happy mylotting!

There are more pigeons around our place. I am daily watching them and also seeing what they do. They are always smart and cute. But their voices are bad . But today when I was talking with my mom, I just hear those sounds from birds there. Their place has trees and so birds used to present there. It is early in the morning, I heard through phone today.

Actually not since earlier this week or I think last weekend.I haven't slept with my windows open because of the pesky frogs.They tend to make noise when night air is humid,so I just keep my windows and doors closed.But I am sure when I would sleep with my window open again I will hear then chirping in the morning as soon as I wake up or as soon as they wake me up which is sometimes around 5.

I agree with Pagturner. Where i live the birds chirp all day long.. But many days it seems as though the birds are a little peeved about something. When our windows are open and they have their mOments..the windows get shut so fast!! But mOst times the windows are left wide open to allow the beautiful sounds in!! Its nice to just sit back take a few deep breaths and just take it all in!!!

Yes the birds are always there, but we do not notice, or do not pay attention. I hear them many mornings. Birds join us in our yard when we provide sources of water as well.

I actually don't remember!!! First off, we live in the basement, so our windows are under ground. Secondly, there is a lot of traffic and noise around here, so that would probably drown them out. Thirdly I hate traffic noise, so when I'm walking outdoors, I tend to wear headphones.

Increasing urbanization has resulted in the destruction of many an abode of the birds. There are only a few trees around for the birds to perch on and build their nests. The early morning chirping of the birds is no more heard in the city areas.However in the remote areas of the rural surroundings the morning is welcomed by the chirping and sweet melodies of the bird species.

Every morning as I wake up, I could hear the chirping birds that fly around my mango tree. It is such a lovely sound. It is also delightful to see them flying from one branch to another while making a joyful sound. Birds do not just sing sweet songs but they also have good lesson to teach. I think we should be like birds in our attitude and outlook in life. If we do... we will all be happy creatures.

Hi Zelmarq, Oh I always see birds everyday, but you're right sometimes we forget to appreciate the sounds of chirping birds. The thing is were too busy enough thinking and forgot to appreciate the beauty of nature and animals which we forgot this smallest things are the most precious things that would lead us to relaxation and inner peace... Happy mylotting...

I know that i have awakened early whenever i hear the birds chirping. Next to our house is a vacant lot, with trees. Everyday, early morning , you can hear them all chirping. As i pray, they always become a part of what i thank God for.

Hello Zelmarq, You are right the chirping sounds of the bird are there every day, it is only people who are too busy to listen to it. Well, I get to hear their chirping sound almost everyday. Very recently a sparrow had built its nest in one of our room. Whole day long we would hear the chirping sound of the sparrow and its nestlings. Now that they have all flown away, the whole day chirping has stopped. But yes I still hear their sound as there are many tress around my house and also I am not too busy to miss such beautiful things.
