I ran the sound thru an amplifier and graphic equalizer then sent the signal to the speakers then cranked up the volume.

My house is full of little chirping birds.

THX for sharing.

Entertaining the world with their violin playing skills while we all hunker down as we sheltering in place avoiding the Coronavirus - going stir crazy.

Entertainment while you arm wrestle boredom.

YES, Yes, yes,... but that's kids.
Everything they do is heart and soul.
If they feel it they project it, without thought or reservation.

I particularly liked the way they leaned in to each other as they played the music.

They were respectful not up stage each other, one augmented and accentuated the other, and the other then extended that same courtesy in return as they played.

Of course they are twin brothers, so they know how to share a confined space. As was required, when they were room mates in the womb.

A delight to watch and listen to, all half a world away, as we are all confined to quarters and sheltered in place.

Have a good day,
Really enjoying the birdies.
I opened the window a bit,.. it is confusing the hell out of the quests at my bird feeders.

How much fun is that ?
THX.

1). What the hell are those birdies doing wear those red Chinese MAGA hats ?

2). Is that trick photography ? Do those birds really dance like that ? If so that is the type of camera stunt - that I would expect from Dear Leader (Trump) not some bird. What is this country coming to ?

**********

Very much like the Jackson tunes, no complaint or argument there.

doing their little mating dance. There are several video clips of them on YouTube.

Aren't they just the most adorable things since kittens?

I'd like to get a better/closer look.

I got,..
Chickadees,
Cardinals,
Gold Finch,
Purple Finch,
Wood Peckers,

Sometimes,..
Starlings,
Sometimes,...
English House Sparrows,
But I chase them away cause they peck at the other birdies at the feeder.

I consider that kinda trDumpie. So I chase them off. I abhor pushy/selfish Fascists with their relentless me, me, me, attitudinal outlook.
