Description

I got some strange looks and giggles, today.
We visited the Brevard County Zoo and while sitting in one of the rustic wooden shelters, this blackbird flew in and perched on the railing about 3ft away.
He squeaked some high-pitched sound, so I echoed it back to him as best I could.
He stared at me for a second, then squawked something lower, more like a chicken... so I did the same.
Then, he made this long, growling sound... And me too...
About this time several other people had stopped to watch.
This bird and I had a conversation of different squawks, squeals, whistles, growls, beeps, etc. for about two minutes.
Until some little girl decided she wanted to go pet the nice birdie.
He gave one last, disgusted, growl and flew off.
I thought of it as a kind of bonding experience, ya know?
