cutest 'Doo doo? Doo doo.' bird call - but what kind of bird!?

Posted by jgrubb0793 (My Page) on

in maine last week there was this yellowish grey little bird (from what we could see, he was at the very very top of a tall pine) talking to my dad all day as he worked outside on our house.

the bird would repeat himself over and over, saying "Doo doo? Doo doo." it sounded as if he were asking a question, but then he would immediately reassure himself with a response. the first "doo doo" is a higher pitch then the second "doo dooo" which is what it sounds like a question and reply.

does any one know what kind of bird this could be? my dad and i got such a kick out of him, that we now have this inside joke where we imitate the bird at random times.

Doo doo? Doo doo.

ya know, he kind of looked like one, but the call just isnt the same =/

unless it was an uncommon sound for them to make, like an alert or something? but otherwise, no match. thank you though!!

I've been trying to identify birds by song and it's very frustrating. It must take years of experience.

A tufted titmouse's alert is more of an almost electrical-sounding high pitched "buzz buzz buzz." It hardly even sounds like a bird. I have no idea what your doo doo is, but living in TN, I have been fooled many times by mockingbirds!

I've been listening for your little bird in my bird cd's. Hopefully I'll come across one that fits.

Thanks for your replies! It's been kind of fun trying to research and figure out my Mystery Bird, especially since it's just for fun and not anything school related(haha!)

the goldfinch call is VERY close!! that particular example isnt EXACTLY what we heard that day, but close enough to say that i'm pretty sure it could have been a FEMALE GOLDFINCH! we didnt recognize her as a goldfinch with the binoculars since the females are dont have the vibrant color, but I just googled a a picture of female and i think we have a match!

Thank you oldned, i never would have looked at a goldfinch, since i wouldnt have recognized a female!

It's lovely. But if you can't, it doesn't matter. ''So anything to do with lifestyle -- clothes, food, louboutin shoes , hats, bags or pens. Things that make you feel good. Everything to do with your vision of what a 'lifestyle' should be. I'm very lucky. The teams who work for me are fantastic. There's the architects and the management people, the chefs, the couture crowd. They create a lifestyle around me just by being so supportive. That's why management is so important. It just doesn't run away. You don't create something and leave Authentic louboutin shoes.
