Welcome back to Poll Of The Day — today’s question taps into a classic grab-and-go moment.

TODAY’S POLL

LAST POLL RESULTS

71.6% of you voted Often in yesterday’s poll: Do you usually hear birds chirping outside your home in the morning?

“Continuously.”

“Every morning when the sun rises.”

“Bird noise is the best way to start one’s day!”

“I have a bird feeder just for this reason. Love to hear the birds in the morning!”

“I USED TO FEED THEM TIL MY NEIGHBOR COMPLAINED.”

“Now that the weather is better, we have windows open and hear the birds every day.”

“We hear them every day!”

“Every day! I love those little guys!!”

“Love hearing them!!!”

“I LOVE hearing them!”

“I love waking up to the chirping of the birds. The jays can be really loud at times. The cardinals have a nest in the tree outside my bedroom window, and I’ve had the same mockingbird family in my backyard for years. Swallows make a nest on my front porch eaves and come back every year.”

“I love the birds! I feed them in fall, winter, and early spring, as directed by the bird specialists at the Audubon Society. I’ve got binoculars and two bird books, so I can identify each one. It warms my soul!”

“Daily, especially in the spring during mating and migration — but year-round, too.”

“Yes, I love it — especially in the spring and summer. It’s pleasant at dawn, when there’s a chorus of birds chirping at one another.”

“I love hearing the birds. I walk a lot, mostly before dawn, so I’m out there with them.”

“Also crowing roosters 🐓 throughout the night and early morning… lucky we live in Hawaii.”

“I hear a good mix of birds chirping throughout the day.”

“Every day! I live in a redwood forest.”

“Every day in the spring, summer, and fall. Rarely in the winter. We live in Wisconsin.”

“Love the sound of mourning doves in the morning and all the other Wisconsin birds anytime I go outside!”

“We live in a suburb of Birmingham, AL, a tree sanctuary, an older neighborhood with lots of mature trees.”

“I live on Birdsong; I expect to hear birds!”

“We live in a pretty rural area on 5 wooded acres. If I don’t hear birds, there must be a hawk nearby.”

“Right now, they are chirping inside my classroom! We just hatched 13 quail and 22 chickens!”

“I’m in the city, but I’ve got a couple of trees.”

“Mostly pigeons! (We live in an apartment building.)”

“I live in the city, but I wish I heard them more!”

“I live in a highly urbanized area. Also, my one large picture window in my efficiency apartment is always closed because I have central heating and air conditioning, so I don’t get to hear birds chirping outside my home in the morning.”

“Not as many as ten-twenty years ago.”

“Sometimes at my house — not as often as I used to due to development over the years. Luckily, at my condo I do hear them daily from my porch. Although there’s been quite a bit of development there as well, we’re on the 9th hole, backed up by lots of trees along the cart trail. We even have bald eagles in our area. One dropped his dinner through a tree and almost hit me and my pup earlier this month. Explains why we sometimes see half-fish on the ground, lol!”

“And I hate it…”
