Once I saw a couple of birds screeching and flying around a cat that was getting close of their fallen hatchling, so maybe sometimes it does mean “someone’s eating my baby”.
Yeah I was thinking that would be the other big one. It’s either ‘I’m down to fuck’ or throws gang signs. With the occasional ‘Prepare to sortie we’ve got an unidentified threat in our airspace!!’
The fighting is one of the big reasons people aren’t supposed to play bird calls to lure them in.
I know the owls can identify each other’s calls and know who is an actual threat or not, so when someone comes in playing a new bird’s call, they go into panic mode. It makes them waste precious energy and takes them away from their hunting and actual territory guarding.
Most owls generally hate other owls and only get together to have babies. They’ll share territory with a mate, but they don’t typically hang out together unless they have to.
Aren’t most bird songs just fancy booty calls

Most of the owl calls are more “get off my lawn!”

Who?
Backstreet Boys?
There are some around my parent’s house, those can be loud as fuck. Sometimes one would start making high pitch screams for half an hour or so.
Their voices are designed for projection… For better or for worse! 😅
There’s the booty call, a random “snake! snake!”, the “somebody hold me! I’ll kill this guy!”… And the more social ones have quite a lot more.
