Seanbirds Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I know this sounds like kind of a silly topic, but share you weird/funny/fantastic bird dreams! Last night I dreamt that I was photographing my lifer Cape May Warbler in a tree barely five feet away from me! Another dream last night was seeing a big flock of Amazona parrots fly by (apparently inspired by @Caley Thomas 2.0 ?) and my lifer Verdin! Anybody else? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I think I dream about birds quite a bit, though I don't remember most of them. Typically, I find some huge load of shorebirds, probably inspired by the fact that I usually don't see them in my area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't remember dreaming, that means you slept well, progressing normally through all the stages of sleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I've definitely dreamt about birds before, and more often than not I end up waking up because the birds are WRONG in my dreams and I realize I'm dreaming. One time it was a Northern Wheatear that the pattern was "swirled" and it had purple iridescence. I've also dreamt about looking at warblers in trees, and a Townsend's Warbler showed up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Another time I dreamt that my yard was full of Loggerhead Shrikes and American Flamingos and later in the evening two Yellow-headed Parrots showed up! ? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Birding dreams are common for me, but I don't remember them very well. I think one time I dreamt that my yard was flooded (ten or so feet deep) and I saw a King Eider floating on the water from my second floor deck. ? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colton V Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I've had three different dreams about finding rare birds at my feeders. One was a Mountain Chickadee (a "common" rarity in the area), one was some crazy red exotic bird that I made up, and I don't remember the last one but I know it happened! My most recent bird dream was about finding Common Redpolls in my neighborhood. My dreams seem to suggest that my greatest desire is to find local rarities. I wouldn't say that's inaccurate! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadynn_H Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I rarely dream. However I once dreamt that my friends spotted a green bird in a tree and I couldn't ID it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirVive Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 OK, crazy story - I don't particularly remember ever dreaming about birds but after reading this thread last night I dreamed that I was sitting beside a big lake on a calm day when I saw a single big wave coming and a half dozen Great Egrets were surfing it just on their feet. ? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Last night I had a dream I was birding somewhere local, and a bunch of chickadees and titmice were acting weird around some small pine trees, I looked closer, and there was a Saw whet, then another, and another. Of course kinda in the open for good photos and I remember thinking, “Wow, these aren’t that hard to find after all!” ?? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meghann Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I don't think I have bird dreams, mine are usually about super crazy stuff. But on topic in a roundabout way, a baby bird dreaming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floraphile Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I've been studying the Spanish language and sometimes dream in Spanish. I am hoping to become a more efficient dreamer by dreaming about anxious birds speaking español. Maybe a Resplendent Quetzal and a Common Potoo having a conversation about the whereabouts of their kids or suddenly realizing they forgot to show up for a final exam. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) I think I'm going to start a bird dream life list. Last night I had a dream where I was birding at a fictitious hotspot, THAT I HAVE DREAMED ABOUT BEFORE. It would be really cool if that became a recurring dream. I have a feeling it's a constructed place based on a couple of places I have really liked birding at, but still, it was really cool. What I remember seeing: Mallard, Wood Duck, Bufflehead, Canvasback, Ruddy Duck, Northern Gannet Either I really have dreamed about this place before, or I had dream déjà vu again Edited November 20, 2021 by Avery 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
