You're very right. It's anyhow the whole concert that counts. All the different sounds and colors.

But truly, even the magpie, with the ugliest sound and a fierce chick robbing appetite, has a beautiful color pattern.

Quote:ThePook: I much prefer the unharmonious, harsh and raucous cries of our native birds such as black cockatoos, wattle birds, Australian ravens, and Kookaburras.
So we all love our native birds; if the blackbirds will disappear I'll know where to get some.
