This bird comes to my backyard every day and sings the same song. I'm going to take a picture so you can see it. Now it's looking at me saying, what are you doing? Do you have bird in your backyard that sing the same song? Maybe this guy needs to meet your guy or girl or whatever they're into. I think he's lonely
So Deb, looks like looking for a match for this this beautiful bird in your backyard. I will keep an eye out in my backyard and see if I can find a suitable bird. And if so, I will send pictures and profile file data and we can see if there is a match. And maybe you should change the title of your swell and say, looking for a match for this bird. You might get other proposals from birds all over the world

Hey, Deborah, as soon as you posted this, I ran to my balcony, and there were over five proposals. But this was the one that caught my attention. What do you think

I have to say that Arish is the one that gave me the confidence to know that if I just reframed my swell and I did suitors would come from all across the globe and who knew? So I gotta say beggars can't be choosers but you're the first suitor so give me some time but that was beautiful

So it seems like you're trying to find a date for your bird. If you get stuck, there's a guy in Ottawa, where he was in Ottawa for quite some time. I his name is Graham Kelly Smith. He's the bird man. He's an expert. You can dig them up. And he will find everything you want to know about that bird

Hey Ryan, I am going after this guy Graham. I want him on here because the bird is here again today with the same song and I think he wants to get his money's worth or something. I think he knows he signed up for my dating bird app. I'm going to track them down and get them on here. So I'm up for the challenge. I'll keep you posted. If you have any contact information, please let me know

Alright, Deborah. I sent him an email with a link to this location so he can both view the photo that you put up as well as hear the noise. And I said if he doesn't want to reply directly, he can get back through me and I will let you know. So we'll see if he answers. Sometimes he does. Sometimes he doesn't
It's probably very faint to make out that faint chirping of the bird. And the reality is I don't even know if that's the noise from this bird, the picture that I'm sending to you off. So I might be pulling a fast one on your bird, sending one picture and somebody else's tweets. So if your bird is not too confused and is still interested, this Hummingbird whose picture I've taken is a regular visitor to my garden

So I'm still trying to track him down because I think he can help spread the word and maybe set up a little aviary conference where we can get a bunch of birds in some kind of cosmic faith together to have speed dating. So I'm working on it. Thank you for your addition to the pool of applicants

The reply from Graham Smith, the wisest man that I know of when it comes to bird. As follows, he said, It's not easy to ID for that catbird is. The photo is probably the least useful angle for an ID. It is between Grey catbird and N Mockingbird. He's going with the Mockingbird, but he says he would like to have seen its eye to confirm if it's lighter and a side view to see wing bars. However, the song is consistent with Mockingbird

But I'm so thrilled that's Mockingbird and I want to sing that song now, but I won't. Thank you so, so much. I really, really appreciate it. I still think we need to find the Mockingbird a Mockingbird partner. So stay tuned. Thank you
