We are at present hand rearing a baby blackbird after it was unfortuntely caught by our cat. I know it sounds awful but we always overly praise our cats when they bring mice/birds home. We do this because I have found, through past experiences that if we tell the cats off they will panic & instantly kill their prey, or run off with it to make sure we can't take it. If we praise them they will happily bring it to us so we can see how 'good' or 'clever' they are & will readily let us take it. Not all the prey has been killed & in the majority of the cases wwe retrieve live, unharmed prey. (I love my cats but it doesn't mean I like what they do!)
Anyhow back to the point!... When the Blackbird is hungry it does indeed make a 'chook-chook-chook' souns, when it's being given the food it makes a repettitive high pitched song made of shrill almost whistles. When the blackbird is getting 'full' it makes a quiet 'chirp' to itself which I can only explain as the same sound you can make as if you were humming the same high note over & over. It also makes this sound as it's dosing off at night. (It is SO sweet!
Hope this helps?
