A lot of birds have subsongs, I think you're right about it being practice. Sorry you have the ringing in the ears.

It seems to be practice singing, maybe practice towards courtship song later in the season. The expression shinobi-ne itself has a nice feel to the ear, and is used in ancient poetry for secret, muffled sobs caused by heartbreak or homesickness, etc. I myself have suffered from loud ringing in the ears ever since I injured my back in my mid-twenties, and it's hard for me to make out subtle difference in birdsong. But I love the idea of it.dosankodebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357411708254011194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-67043663278730518862016-06-13T18:20:18.996+01:002016-06-13T18:20:18.996+01:00I love the song of a single blackbird on a dark ea...I love the song of a single blackbird on a dark early winter morning, usually late January, early February, around St Brigid's day (Imbolc). These lone singers are always the first, marking their territory with song.<br />For me, it's the beginning of spring, of new life.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-68149129560138020682016-06-13T13:59:39.276+01:002016-06-13T13:59:39.276+01:00I love all the birdsongs!
