bird songs?

[cytospur]

I should be in receipt of a Tascam DR-05 tomorrow (cheap, but good enough for what I 'need' it for). I could take it for a test run and record some birds at the local if you want?

I have several sets of thin vinyl "soundsheet"-style phonograph records

flexi-discs, very popular with music magzines over here in the early 80's

had quite a few myself, no idea where they are now.

*nod* I remember seeing kiddie records laminated right onto the backs of cardboard breakfast cereal boxes. You'd cut along the dotted line, punch out the hole, put the resulting square on a record player, and the needle would jump around 'cos the things were usually pretty badly warped. If you succeeded at playing one, you got a commercial for cereal -- entirely free! (with qualifying purchase)

Thin, unbacked black vinyl sheets sometimes came bound into magazines, with music or comedy or children's stories. Those tended to work a lot better.

I think Dave's talking about his Smash Hits collection

At one time I had a fairly significant collection of these. Notable (the main ones I remember) were a couple of Archies releases (that were _only_ released in this format!), a recording of the gunshots of the Kennedy assassination, a version of Hendrix's Red House that may or may not have ever been released anywhere else, and Mad Magazine originals "Makin' Out" and another Mad Magazie one that was interesting because it played different tracks at random (pretty cool). I also had one that was recorded from Alan Sheppard's first orbit.

Anyone else here ever have a copy of "Nixon's The One?" I think it might have been in Look magazine in '68.

Wikimedia Commons also has some recordings of birds: Audio files of Aves. The "Sounds of Passeriformes" subcategory is probably the most useful one for your purposes.

Thanks for the links everyone, I really appreciate it and will check them all out soon.

Btw I remember an Archie's cereal box record of some Halloween stuff, oh those were fun but worked like a three legged chair.

my dad had records of bird songs when I was a kid, I know if it was possible in 1970 it must be possible now

Before you can use samples of the birds legally, you have to ask the birds themselves if they permit it and let them twitter the license agreement...

(according to the "Law for the protection of bird singings")

Birds twitter ?


Surprised no one's mentioned Roger Whittaker yet !
