We're just not existing at the same speed as the birds.

Let's just slow down that birdsong so we can really hear what's going on:

Via Metafilter, where somebody says, "Reddit is a terrible place to learn things, because any comments with real info gets lost in thousands of silly puns and cultural references. But the video comes from this Instagram account with many more videos of the birb."

So Metafilter is the place where they just have to say "birb" for "bird" and they get snooty about Reddit, and,  I guess, Instagram is the best choice for finding the originator of the material.

And TikTok is where you go to find a guy who comically portrays Redditors as the ones who are snooty.

What that bird said about slowing down “the passage of time” upon the passage of time was truly profound.

Can you imagine what birds’ evolutionary predecessors sounded like?

Reddit is interesting because you can choose micro topics.

But it is FULL of left-wing loons and gay mafia...

Sounds like a cat!

Catbirds, Brown Thrashers and Mockingbirds repeat their mimic themes one, two and three times respectively, so that they can tell each other apart.

I need to hear it at normal speed and compare.

Got my answer in the comments.
"In case it's not clear, the video switches to slow-motion about 15 seconds in and then returns to regular speed about 5 seconds before the end. That's why it suddenly sounds much deeper and the room sudden seems to have much more reverb."

It would be interesting to see a person's time spent reading vs. time spent writing on various social media platforms. Elon probably already knows.

Me? Lots of reading, little writing.

The plural of platform is platforms. Wouldn't "platforma" or "platformae" be more interesting? Probably not. Just a thought.

There is a frickin' chuck-wills-widow just outside my yard, and it starts at dark for an hour, then starts again about an hour before it gets light. It's worse than having a neighbor with a rooster, because it never gets tired of its "singing."

Probably the bird equivalent of inarticulate grunts.
