Bula Vinaka bloggers! This task was about sounds in your back yard! My sound was quite it didn't have much going on, just the usual... It is also about crickets I mean I will explain little by little about it!
First off here is my sound of my back yard (also thanks for the video oh how to embed it!)
I call it "the usual day"
This task was about Nature and how it is leaving, The crickets have been silent lately, The birds haven't been chirping much, why? People are destroying their homes, as in cutting down tree's and not replanting them and much more.
I don't know about you but I have been seeing Tui's a lot lately so nothing to complain about for them I guess....! When I heard the Tui sound I found out that there are a lot of Tui's in my area since I hear the sound that they make heaps! I usually see the Mag Pies flying around everywhere right down the road near school, by the new apartments there are heaps of the Mag Pies! Even when we went to two different parks we saw like 10 Mag Pies, or should I say I SAW 10 Mag Pies as my mother wasn't counting or even looking for them.
Have you ever woken up at 5AM or for some reason went to sleep at 5AM then you would know what it's like to hear all the birds chirping and the sun rising! I haven't but if you have then that's SO COOL!!!! I think it would be so pretty and also very amazing! I once tried to wake up at 5AM but that didn't work, as always I was fussy to get out of bed so I missed the sun rise ;)
So now The sounds in my back yard that happen every summer... well mostly things that show up in summer, like all the flowers on these tree's we have, OH!? You wanna see???? Well just watch the video below and you my friend, will know what I mean!
I decided to keep this video 5 minutes long
Ka pai Karolina. Thanks for sharing your sounds and your thoughts about them. I've been on Kapiti Island this summer and there are so many birds. They would wake us all up around 6am! Lots of tūī like you said but also many more endangered birds like tīeke and kōkako. Do you have a favourite bird? What do you think we can do to help nature and the birds out?
ReplyDeleteBula Vinaka Phil! I think my favourite bird would be a faintail, They are just so cute and tiny!!!! I think to help nature and the birds people could stop cutting the tree's and not replanting, Since the birds need a tree home?
DeleteThanks for the reply Karolina. I agree that we should stop deforestation. I like your idea of planting a new tree if we do have to cut one down. I think that's how sustainable tree farms work. I love pīwakawaka, I saw one with some bugs this morning. I think my favourite is the kōkako. Have you heard of them?
DeleteAta mārie Karolina!
ReplyDeleteChris here again, from the Summer Learning Journey!
Tēnā koe for completing the Summer Sounds Kick Start activity! I hope you enjoyed it!
Wow, this might be your most detailed post yet! Pai mahi!
You make a great and powerful point about their being less “summer sounds” in terms of nature due to climate change brought on by industrial damage. You are 100% correct, and even if it’s just small changes to the ecosystem- in terms of what we can hear- they will build to become much bigger ones.
I have indeed both gone to sleep and woken up at 5:00AM many times. The sunrise and the sound of birds are a lot better when you’re waking up at 5:00AM than if you’re going to sleep at 5:00AM! I agree, it is tough to get up that early.
Well done on going the extra mile and inserting both an audio clip AND a video clip here to help us understand what summer sounds like where you are!
I’m looking forward to seeing what else you post in the final week, next week! Have a great weekend!
Ngā mihi,
Chris
Bula Vinaka Chris! I think this task WAS my most detailed task! I think the birds are just slowly leaving and it is a ecosystem of the nature ;( I am AMAZED that you can go to sleep AND wake up at 5AM I once went to sleep at 5AM on this years new years day. Well thanks for the feedback see ya!
