I lay one Morning in bed. No idea what day it was or what week. Everything is at the Moment, anyway the same. It was sometime between six and seven o’clock. No idea. Time? Everything is at the Moment, anyway the same. The window was open, again, this day promised to be a beautiful day. Since I heard this noise. “Du-duu-du-du-duu-du-du-duu-du …” quick as a Flash I had the owl in my thoughts. The is an owl! And as quick as a flash I was in my Childhood.
My grandparents had an Allotment. Rather, it was a Ried. A Field. A Pünt. With vegetables a Hüttli, a lot of Meadow and a small forest of fir-trees, in a wooden outhouse was hidden flower beds. My fondest memories of my Childhood days in this nature are always. “You-you-you …”, echoed it constantly from the trees. It was not the call of an eagle owl, it was a pigeon! My grandfather always said: “Dr tube cutter rueft em Wiibli.”
I was so twenty years later, in bed, and heard in the middle of the city of Zurich, which I knew from a Ried out in the country. But the “tube cutter”, the dialect word from grandpa, do not know Google. I research and research. Tummle me on pages bird-determination and land on the Website of the Swiss ornithological Institute in Sempach. It is a dove, I know. So I click my way through all the species of Doves and listen to by means of the audio recordings of their Call. “What are you doing there?” it sounds from next door. “I’m looking for the bird that’s singing outside!” The sound bizarre – and brought us quite a Laugh.
“It is a collared dove!”, it breaks out of me. A pigeon of Oriental origin! It is beige-grey and are easily recognisable by their black neck ring. You just looks very different than the city pigeon – the Coos also just. But the collared dove, has the verse, a three-syllable Courtship! Grandpa was right!
Since that day I listen to the dove every Morning. And even if I haven’t discovered yet, warms your call my heart. You leave me in my Childhood, and it gives me hope that everything will continue as long as the “tube cutter rueft em Wiibli!”
