is my new ringtone.
I got it for free at the Center for Biological Diversity, which is offering a number of free ringtones featuring the sounds of endangered species.
Granted, one co-worker commented that the voice of the Puerto Rican Screeching Owl was proof positive that the owl should STAY endangered, but I think it's cool. It's like a little bit of the rainforest every time my phone rings. Is there a rainforest in Puerto Rico? Maybe. But there's definitely a Screeching Owl. . . but perhaps not for long. You know. . . because it's endangered.
In other news, a new school called The Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation will open this fall with a curriculum foucused around the Bronx Zoo. The public school will serve some of the poorest kids in the city. I hear most of the teachers are real animals. No, really. Could you imagine, like, an ostrich wearing reading glasses and teaching algebra?

Good morning! I'd like to hear the screeching owl. Once! Michele says hi!
I tried to access the sounds but you cannot do that without signing up and frankly, I don't use my phone the way most people do----no one has my number...I don't even know it...(lol) But still, it would be interesting to hear the Screeching Owl, etc...And Michele thinks so too!
I think wild animal noises would scare me too much on my phone. It sure sounds like a good cause though.
thank your co-worker for a great laugh--the reason for the owl to stay endangered! Maybe I should download such sounds to my phone as I often leave it on vibrate and in my briefcase! Michele says hi.
An ostrich teaching English?
"I've heard of an Ox, a professor from Quox, No longer permitted to teach..."
Don't tell my son, he'll want that ring tone too! Michelle says to say hello!
Love screech owls!
I'm posting out of turn from Michele's. :+)
I'd love some, but you have to have web browsing on your phone and I don't. Too bad, because I think it would be cool.
Michele sent me.
oh, meant to mention, love all the movies you've seen, especially "Please Don't Eat The Daisies".
Here via Michele. And I might have paid more attention in school if my teachers had been animals. Perhaps they have the right idea ;)
Michele sent me over, Carli.
I'll go over to that site to listen to the calls, Carli, but I doubt I'll download any. My girlfriend, on the other hand, might. I suspect she'd love the symbolic support that is involved in the gesture. My thinking is more in line with your co-worker.
then the ostrich algebra teacher takes a well deserved break and chats with Mr. Beaver, who is on his way to teach Woodworking, and later Engineering.
I love your way of thinking.
perhaps the screech is the reason it IS endangered. Here from michele this time
Would you hear it if it rang in a crowded space, though? That's why my phone rings Metallica; I can always hear it.
As for animals as teachers, maybe not in the traditional sense, as you described, but sure, I think animals have a lot to teach us.
Here from Michele's, but I seem to be here a lot this weekend... people might start talking! ;)
I think that is a cool ring tone. There is a flightless parrot called the Kakapo that's mating call is awful to hear. Might be why it's endangered?!
Michele sent me to say hi.
Sounds like an Ellen DeGeneres commercial for American Express.
Where did Carli go? Is she missing...?
