Syrinxes are cool AF and we were robbed as an animal class because Aves selfishly kept a lot of cool shit

So I just figured this out a couple years ago. Have nests in the awning. Wasn't until I saw them mimicking frogs, seagulls, and crows.

The current ones nesting do that and make noises of ambulance sirens and maybe a schoolyard? Freaky AF.

Fun Fact: the bird version of a larynx, the syrinx, is basically like 2 larynx, birds have the equivalent of two sets of vocal cords.

I had the Yak Bak 2... and a Talkboy. Time to take my back meds.

BUT, did you go to the YakBak display in Sears, make a bunch of them say "butts" or "fart" when your parents weren't looking, and run away?

The first person who heard a bird speak was probably not ok for several days

Imagine being lost in a forest yelling help and hello, and hearing a voice in the trees yell it back, but never finding the person.

Psytrance people are wayyyy more interesting and good than what is found on four chan. Even if you can hear it there, I don't associate them

Bro I've always wanted to know what this music is called. I'm gonna trance my balls off now. THANK YOU!

The music makes so much more sense on BIG speakers, while on the medicine of the mind. Good luck and safe journey.

I’m very partial to dark/forest psy, but I’ll look up hitech.

Look up psytrance event schedule, go to a good party, plan for comfort, have nutritious food, drop at 10am, don't swallow the paper square.
