Why do you think birds are so popular?

I think birds can make an area feel less empty, even if you can’t see them. I don’t have much wildlife out here, and what there is is pretty much silent. Rabbits everywhere, insects, frogs, turtles, coyotes. None of them make much noise. Mostly just the frogs and crickets at night, and I rarely hear the coyotes, never seen one. The birds, however, make tons of noise wvery morning. Often the birds and rabbits are the only things that remind me wildlife exists. Oh, and flies, flies everywhere.
