      Man, you got it! I was going to say the same thing. Distance.

      Damned birds are LOUD, and up close they are very annoying. If you’re on the beach, and you’ve got the sound of the waves overpowering everything else, they’re not too bad, though. But in the city, when they’re flying overhead, their squawk is pretty overwhelming.

      Waking up to hearing them on a vacation to the beach? Most relaxing thing ever.

      Sitting on the beach with them all around you? Less so.

    I find it relaxing but one day, I fell asleep on the beach and my friends put some Cheetos around me and I woke up surrounded by seagulls. That was annoying (even if I thought it was funny).

    Depends how close they are, and the amount. And time of day.

    Had a flock live outside our apartment for a time. We couldn’t sleep, kids couldn’t sleep, and they became afraid of birds for a time due to it. Not sure how many times I had to explain that birds won’t come into our home. In fact they don’t even want to. They want to stay outside.

    Damn squawking.

    Relaxing because it’s nature and the sounds of other beings doing what they do to survive. If you find that annoying then I don’t know what to say.
