Far away from the bird island, you can hear the noisy and lively sounds of birdsong with different tones, chirping silently and echoing back and forth.
It's even more interesting to look at photos of their lives nearby: some soaring and dancing in the wind; some concentrating on incubating their nests, with the females at their disposal; some swimming and chasing and playing on the lake; and some still strolling through the grass, with the females leading the way, and the males following, with the occasional disobedient fledgling. When they leave the group, the larger bird catches up and pecks them in reprimand, like a small family scene.
