Fascinating! This could be from a jaded point of view, that all birds and their 'noise' sound the same, and possibly annoying.
Or perhaps the birdsong sounds the magical same as through childhood and young adulthood, and it's good be back, however temporarily.

cool morning birdsong light on a distant cloud
Alan Summers Modern Haiku (1999)
Anthology: Azami Haiku in English Commemorative Issue ed. Ikkoku Santo (Japan 2000)
poetry lecture a distraction of birdsong from the open window
last pour… again the night sky
True… They are the same
travel is the teacher of this equality of environment… The only part who is changeable is the traveler…
Should we, Leave and Live ?!?!
Jeannie – Love this haiku! There are multiple interpretations here but for me it rings of homecoming and the sense of home that our animal neighbors offer by their presence. Thank you for filling me with birdsong!

True…
They are the same
travel is the teacher of this equality of environment…
The only part who is changeable is
the traveler…
Should we,
Leave and Live
