Default Birds singing
First of all, welcome to The Villages! Hope you have a very pleasant stay in TV!

On occasion you will hear a bird sing in the evening. It is not unusual.

We were told that mockingbirds repeat each sound 3 times. See if you can notice this or not.

Re: attracting birds, our experience has been to place a 'ceramic planter saucer' filled with water on the ground near a bottlebrush tree in our yard. We've had doves, mockingbirds and others come for the water. The mockingbirds will go into the saucer and 'take a bath.' If we have had a dry spell, the birds know where to find the water, it's amazing!

Enjoy!!
