     @aredridel @voltagex @az frog sounds in movies are often wrong due to the recordings of frogs generally being taken in California.

     @dragonfrog @felix @aredridel @voltagex@aus.social @az I couldn’t bear it when they landed at the white cliffs of Dover and then went past Hadrian’s Wall on their way back to Sherwood Forest

     @felix @aredridel @voltagex @az The father of a friend of mine in high school was an ornithologist. I remember watching Robin Hood Prince of Thieves at their house, and his dad couldn't bear to watch any more when they used North American bird song as background sounds in Sherwood forest.

     This bird really gets around. Its distinctive wail is heard not just in movies set on nearly every continent on this planet, but also on some distant alien worlds

     @dragonfrog @felix @aredridel @voltagex @az Oh, goddammit, I was laughing about the original post until I saw this.
     It annoys the hell out of me when movies use a red-tailed hawk scream for other birds. Bald eagles, especially -- they don't sound anything like that!
