Have any birds in your life long enough and you begin to recognize the different sounds and what they mean.
I was in the house. Just outside the back door was a bird raising a ruckus but the voice said there was something wrong. I go out. He sees me and gets quiet, the others are ignoring him. I did a head count and realize one is missing.
His body language is all distress. About the same time I said to him you're missing your mate I heard her. So did the flock and everyone went running off to find her.
I haven't quite figured out why he was screaming at the back door. There isn't much I could do if she was gone for good. If he had been quiet for just a moment he would have heard her calling.
