[quote=JABAROOTOO,274019]I can hear the birds chirping in my garden right now -lots of them. It really does depend a lot on where you are living. During my first year in China I would have been inclined to ask that question too. That first year I was living on my inner city school campus, a small one at that with some trees and a few birds. I could both see and hear them from time to time. Now I am living on the fourth floor overlooking really nice gardens in a rather nice residential compound that was once on the outskirts of town. It is now one of my great joys to not only see and hear the birds in the garden but to actually have them drop into my little balcony garden from time to time and actually find something to eat. The year I spent living on the 22 nd floor I could watch the neighbours pigeons homing circling when they were released from low set walk ups and sometimes saw other birds in flight but rarely heard them from that height. Many Chinese love to keep birds as pets and it is common to see them airing the birds in local parks and gardens while they play cards or chess with other birdlovers. [/quote]
