The Afrikaans names of our South African birds are brilliantly descriptive! These names have helped me with my birding!
Yes, the Afrikaans names are so descriptive and often give you a great clue as to what the bird is.
Some familiar, some unfamiliar sounds, always delightful, with glimpses of the South African landscape. A wonderful way to start the morning in cold Austria.
Glad you enjoyed it. Must be freezing there in Austria at this time of year.
Love the Xhosa. Where did you learn to speak it?
I grew up on a farm in the old Ciskei and learnt to speak Xhosa from a very young age. I still speak it now almost daily.
I love your video's. Thank you.
You are so welcome!

Thanks!
Hi Lynette, thanks so much for this interesting video of these birds and their calls. Grew up on a farm in the Eastern Cape (a long time ago) and this brought back such happy memories. Just love the way you speak and pronounce the Xhosa names. Do you have a more complete video available one could purchase. Live in the Potch area now and enjoy tte birds in my garden so much, but don't know all their names.
Keep up your good work and Blessings to you.
Glad you enjoyed it. I also grew up on a farm in the Eastern Cape and I spoke more fluent Xhosa when I was very young than English. I don't have a video for sale but there are other similar videos I made with other Eastern Cape birds in English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa. Look below this video for the links to the other ones. I also have some videos about the Xhosa folklore of some birds.
I recently made a video all in Xhosa: th-cam.com/video/9ai7F0Z1YV0/w-d-xo.html
Here are the links to part 1 to 3 videos like this one but with other birds:

I hate those pigeons at 2:19 made it my personal mission to bother them each time I see them
Why on earth would you hate the Speckled Pigeons? They are totally harmless. Learn more about them and you will appreciate them.
