Hi there everyone, this morning when I was outside I heard the call of a New Zealand grey warbler, and it made me think what is my favorite bird song and I think I have to go for the New Zealand grey warbler/riroriro.
I would like to hear your favorite bird and or other animal sons/noises
(apologies if this is already a topic)
This one is kinda similar https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/most-beautiful-birds-bird-sounds-ever/19230
Mine is either the Hermit Thrush: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/55686803
or the Song Sparrow: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/75589982
I’d have my favorite bird song is “White Bird” by It’s A Beautiful Day or “Fly Like an Eagle” by Steve Miller 
Nothing by the Eagles?
I’m more a fan of the Black Crowes.
I was actually meaning real birds
Sorry @hedgehog111. For me, canyon wrens. Also, as i was growing up my family camped at a lake that had a nice meadowy cove with a couple streams flowing into it. I spent hrs wading into the lake and flyfishing over the creek channels in the lake, accompanied by the constant song of western wood peewees. Still, decades later, when i hear a pewee it takes me right back to that spot.
Either the song of the American Robin, or the low, mournful, feeeeeee beeeee of the chickadee
Might be a bit of a generic answer but I’d have to go with Tūī! I love listening to the variety of different sounds used in each individual’s song.
I know. Sorry. I just couldn’t help myself.
When I was young, my family cared for a rescue Great Horned Owl. It would make a certain series of hoots that basically meant “I am lonely, where are you?” I would go outside and make the same sound back and it would come to me. Occasionally at night, I’ll hear wild owls make that noise and I’ll answer them. Sometimes they fly close to me, size me up, realize I’m not a real owl, and fly away. I love being able to speak owlish, even if it is only one phrase.
Locally, between these two…
Wood Thrush: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/47703234

Never heard of that bird before, beautiful and very interesting songs!
As for myself I would say White-throated Sparrow, Robin, House Finch, and Hermit Thrush songs are all great.
Welcome to the forum @mesopon
This is a pretty cheesy story, but when I proposed to my wife in the Gila National Forest, in New Mexico, there were Hermit Thrush singing everywhere. It sounded so ethereal and magical. Now whenever either of us hear a Hermit Thrush, we are instantly taken back to that wonderful hike in the forest.
Definitely Bicknell’s Thrush for me, although I like all thrush songs.
I live in East Tennessee. For sheer lyrical-ness, the Wood Thrush is the bird for me. Love those flute-y notes echoing in the woods! The Northern Mockingbird is fun to listen to and try to figure out what he’s “mocking”. My favorite for entertainment is the Yellow-Breasted Chat. They can give off the weirdest series of calls, whistles, whoots, and squawking scolds. One time, I was deep in a thicket picking blackberries and must have gotten too close to their nest. The sounds they made were positively otherworldly.
I can’t choose just one.
