I listened to birds, and I love the sound of this CD, becuase the sound of the birds relaxes me in a way...it feels like I'm really in the mighty Rain Forest.

This is a good CD. You'd think that both tracks would be the same because they both start the same - light rain falling and birds chirping. But the tracks are quite different. And there's not just birds on this CD. There are also frogs and howler monkeys. Well, the point is that its a great CD!

As a general warning to those interested in this cd, I have found that the recording is spoiled by outside noises.

I am sure others have noticed the off-key whistling sounds that come into the recording 3 or more times through the duration of the cd. I am sure these are not bird calls: (1) because they are audible as very close to the point of capture (microphone) and (2) the off-key, flat tone and pitch do not resemble any bird calls or sounds.

Unfortunately of course this sound is very unpleasant for any seeking a peaceful nature recording. An excellent compilation I would recommend is the 'Echoes of Nature: The Natural Sounds of the Wilderness' [5 CD Box Set].

I actually bought the CD for my parrots, but I enjoy it as much as they do. It's very relaxing and peaceful. I would highly recommend it.

This CD has lots of rainfall sounds, birds twittering, etc. Very low key and soothing. Bought it to keep my parrots happy when I'm away. They listened carefully and seemed to enjoy the mood.
