Close your eyes and try to listen to the sounds of birds. Do you hear any bird sounds?
When listening carefully with closed eyes, various bird sounds can be heard such as the cooing of pigeons (Gutru Gu), the chirping of sparrows, the cawing of crows, the singing of tailorbirds, and calls of barbets.
