Seriously, WTF is going on. I know I stay up way too late, and back in the day I would be able to hear birds sing when I would try and go to bed. This would be around the same time as the sun was coming up, which I think is reasonable…probably around 5-6am. Not a big deal.
Lately something has seemed to change in these birds, and they start singing at 5am, 4am, 3am and a new and improved 2:45AM. WTF is going on?
My possible theories on this are:
- The light pollution from the city has them messed up
- This is a new breed of “the early bird gets the worm ALL AMERICAN song birds” who no longer sleep in like the birds of yesteryear.
- The world is seriously fucked and this is just one more of the side effects.
- I should get to bed before midnight and avoid these annoying insomniac birds.
- Maybe this bird was sent here to get me to go to bed. When the bird starts singing I need to get to bed?
- My mom suggested that maybe the babies are hungry and waking the parents up. I don’t buy it.
Since my mom has heard this, I am guessing others have as well. Is it isolated to the Chicagoland area? Is it happening by you? WTF is going on and how do I stop it?

Worm and Werty both start with W vowel r. I think no more needs to be said (or typed, for that manner).
This is happening in Palatine.
It is annoying but my daughter cries louder than they sing, so it all balances out.
maybe the bird is in pain. get yourself a BB gun and put it out of its sing-song misery.
Birmingham England 23:45 and they are singing away.
They are doing my fucking head in! WHY?
I am writing an article about a lifetime of staying up late and recalled that, in the late 50’s, when I was a little kid in southern Michigan, I’d also to try to fall asleep before the birds started making a racket. I remembered it as being 4am. I just checked sunrise for those years in the summer and it was around 5:30a. I’m pretty sure it was closer to 4 when they started.
