In this case, the birds calling an alarm alerted me to a snake visiting nearby under a banana tree.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland, Australia, about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online, so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

If I have no native kookaburras, is store bought fine?
I've got some friendly crows that hang around my neighborhood that do the same with hawks and eagles
Not much gets by the noisy mynahs. They are a great alarm system.
My boyfriend's backyard is a So Cal mecca for coastal and inland birds. I love to hang out there and watch and listen. There are indeed specific vibrations given by them all at certain times of the day. One day they all took turns coming around and inspecting me. Hummingbirds in front of me and behind me, small birds (totally forget their name) alighting on the roof, watching me…doves on the phone wires congregating and watching the sun rise and then turning around to watch me. It's my favorite urban hangout, especially when the noisy 'wild parrots' of California invade. They sure do make a ruckus!
I love this. The mockingbirds around here warn me about snakes before my dogs ever even notice!
Yep birds tell me when I have a python in my yard , I go looking and I find him .
I can't even imagine how cool they sound! I love their call!
Really good short!!!!
Ummm. Just this man is just chilling with lizards and pythons in his yard. I love nature, but don’t want to be close to those Aussie critters.
No. No. Nope. So glad I live and garden in Manchester, England.
Sure when Mark says listen to the birds they're trying to tell you something he gets 7.4k thumbs up at him but when I say it I get side eyes and "maybe we should see about upping your meds"
The squirrels and crows inform me of predators. Squirrels are usually pretty quiet but when a predator comes around they just start yelling at it. Loud chirping
We lost so much of this survival info over the millennia, it sucks that not many of us would survive out in the “wild”
100%
The only predators waiting for rodents to emerge from my compost are my chihuahuas. How glad I am not to have to be on the lookout for pythons. The kukaburras are cute, though.
That is so awesome
Blue Jays do the same thing as the second bird when there’s a predator, make a lot of noise. The chickens know what that means and act accordingly
Tell us about your solar panel in the garden.
Just today some crows and mocking birds and cardinals all went off on a hawk.
Are pythons native there? Here its kill on site for them.
Not the environment for me to garden in. I’ll just leave it to you. Lol.
So true!
Amazing we really should live in harmony with nature
