Woke up this morning to crows hoping all over our roof and tapping away. Their persistence and childish antics cracked me up. Finally yelled out, “Go play on their roof! They are both morning people!” And shut the window. : )
Reminded me of this scene.
Let's just say that whoever said roosters call at the break of dawn has never been woken up by roosters. Break of dawn my ass. They start making a racket 3-4 hours before the sun even thinks about rising.
And mice. It's amazing how much noise a mouse can make, especially when they're inside a wall next to your bed.
Ever hear a rattlesnake slithering around outside your tent? It's not exactly a lullaby, especially considering that snakes love to crawl inside nice warm sleeping bags to keep warm.
Ever heard an elk in rut or whatever they are yacking about? You can hear them a mile away. Image an 8 year old kid after taking his first trumpet lesson practicing in your room in the middle of the night.
Then there was the time I slept out in a pasture and woke up surrounded by cows within a few feet. Picture laying on your side and opening your eyes to cow legs standing sideways a few feet away. I suppose I should be thankful they didn't shit on my face while I was sleeping. That would be a rude awakening.
OK, it didn't wake me up because I didn't get that far. I sleep in the basement and sometimes snakes get in there. So image going to bed, pulling the covers up to your chin and feeling something cold on your neck. I knew immediately that it was a damn snake. It took about 2 milliseconds to grab the thing and fling it across the room. When I turned on the light it turns out there were two of them in my room. One thing about snakes though, being cold blooded and being trapped in a basement, it doesn't take long for them to become very lethargic. That makes it easy to grab them and find a them new home outside. They sure as hell ain't gonna share my bed with me.
All the time. I live next to a nature preserve
My neighbors left out their trash and the bears got to it 🙃
Bears dragged the trash all on our lawn.
yes, but my fault, blue jays i feed now if i dont keep them squawk till i throw their food out.

A couple of months ago a small bird made a nest in the guttering of the house across from my bedroom window, and with it being summer and having my windows open, it’s incessant chirping kept waking me up at around 7am every morning! 🙉 Thankfully the neighbour had their guttering cleaned (partly because it was disturbing them too) and the bird was evicted 🦅 I’m sure it found somewhere else to make a nest and annoy everyone there too! 😂
A large tree on the neighbor‘s lawn had an owl in it. That guy liked to make his presence known at night.
„Fun“ story: Somebody in the neighborhood had two exotic birds (I assume) escape. For whatever reason these were afraid of the darkness and screeched back and forth the whole night till dawn. Every night for three weeks, then they were recaptured or fled completely… uugghhh! 🤬😤🔪🪓💣
Yes!!! The dog next door barked for a whole 2 hours nonstop at 2am then once it stopped the birds that are right outside my windows started chirping for another two hours. I was exhausted.
A spider crawling on my eye…
Lol jk but true story: as a kid in New York I did wake up to a roach on my arm!
this just gave me an idea…
Yes. Most recent was when dozens of (probably migrating) green parrots took a long break in our frontyard tree and shrieked/squawked loudly all day long.
Oh yes. We have lots of wildlife here. Some nights the coyotes wake us up and the birds are always noisy in the morning (I actually love it).
Definitely. We hear rabbits getting caught and digested on a very regular basis.
No. We kept chickens when i was young and it was tough to sleep longer than our rooster wanted us to.
Ohhhh yes! I have birds literally nesting in my roof, even though they aren't fully in our house I do hear them rustling and pecking from time to time which is JUST AMAZING to hear at the crack of dawn on my days off lol.
Oh and in case that wasn't enough there's a lady with her little shit of a dog that constantly barks down the street at absolutely nothing, also al the crack of dawn.
Happy days : )
Crows are evil watch what they do its always first thing in the morning or right before dark all the other bird species band together to run them and the hawks off there is always one to distract one to keep look out usually atop a light pole and one to snatch baby birds squillels or whatever
NGL; I've been tempted to shoot birds more than once.
... But then I remember that one time when my friend shot a bird and it was so horrifying. I felt like I had just witnessed a war crime.
My dog barfed at 4am today. 😑 Always nice to be woken up by dry heaving noises followed by splatter.
Yes, but recently it's been a cricket that just won't shut the fu.. Anyway I'm driving to New York later today for a 3 day costly 1200 mile vacation!
Yes, woodpeckers, other birds, rooster, cows, bulls,
Birds. I don’t understand why they’re awake at 4 am.
Yes woodpeckers tapping on the roof or being kept awake by Robins that sing all night.
Of course cat fights and dogs barking, but those aren't wildlife.
Yes. Do you know the racket a flock of Ravens can make at sun up.
u yes, mostly my cats... when they go wild at 4am
but yes, also some birds outside... and that's as much as we get, lol
Sure, porcupines, marmots, bears, possums, mice…animals are ruthless noise makers at night
I have a bird that taps on the bedroom window many mornings… I don't know why
