The scolding alarm call of the Spectacled Thrush for example is something that I grew extremely tired of – the birds would sit on our window and glare at our indoor cat and yell (what I presume to be some form of obscene insult) at him.

Birding can leave a bitter taste in your mouth if you fixate on certain aspects of the experience. A prime example would be my utter failure to pick up lifers during my last two trips, galling indeed to someone who tends to love new birds over old ones.
