29 Chirpy Bird Memes For Those Who Feel Like a 5 AM Scream Outside the Window

Good morning, early birds!

In French, they say "coucou" when they meet each other, like saying "hello" or "I'm home". It's an announcement of presence, a greeting to whoever hears it. And it's no surprise it sounds like a bird call. Because, very similarly to a French person saying "coucou" as a greeting - the bird outside your bedroom window is also calling a coo-coo coucou greeting. Very loudly. At 5 AM. Just because.

When a bunch of birds call this early in the morning, you're about to wake up whether you like it or not. It's like they're yelling "You! Hey, you there, in that room! Good morning! It's time to wake up and start your day! No, we don't care that the sun is barely up yet, or that the street is quiet - we're about to scream our little lungs out to tell you good morning! Good morning! Coo! Coo! Coo!"

And because this day started with some bonkers birds outside our window, we decided to make it everyone's problem, in a very bird fashion. So, if birds didn't wake you up even before the sun was up, first of all - say "thanks" - and then, wake up with the sound of laughter from bird memes. Since this morning started way too early than we would've liked it to, we gathered some morning bird memes - and now you can enjoy them too.

When we think of a good morning, it contains a fresh start, a hot cup of coffee, and… yes, the lovely sounds of birds outside the window. Despite the occasional early wake-up, birds are beautiful. They're fabulously feathered, they sing, and they bring a lot of liveliness with them wherever they fly. We actually like these little guys, even if when they wake us up at odd hours.

To be fair, there are many other things that could disrupt a nice and long eight-hour night. Birds are not the only thing to blame. Here are a few things that woke us up way too early in recent times that are not birds, in no particular order: The neighbor doing big renovations that start every day at 7 AM sharp. Our cat deciding it's time to open the biscuit factory on our stomach. A neighbor's kid screaming because he had to wake up. Our baby daughter crying becuase the weight of being awake is too much, and we have to wake up as well, apparently.
