Birds waking DS2 early!

I'm honestly not sure if I can get any help with this but .. worth a shot!

We moved into this house at the end of last year and it's become apparent we have some incredibly squawky crows!
They've been waking DS2 up at 4.30. The first morning he was absolutely terrified, crying and calling for me but we've talked and he doesn't seem so scared any more but they're waking him mega early and we put him back to bed but he just gets up and wonders around sayin "I wake up!"
He has white noise but they're SO loud it doesn't block them out, I can't shut his window right now as it's HOT and only going to get hotter. I obviously can't eliminate the crows so what can I do? Or do I just have to
accept I'll be up at 4.30 for the summer?

Ah I feel his pain! The birds in our garden have been insanely noisy recently.
Can you put a fan in his room and shut the window? The extra noise wld help too.

A fan in the room and window shut is the only way we aren't woken very early.

Does the fan keep the room cool enough? That's my only concern but I might give it a try tonight!

Tell him they are singing him a song so he can get back to sleep so he should do his best to do that...

I’ll give that a go! Unfortunately I think because of the time his sleep pressure is just too low for him to be able to fall back to sleep. Tonight we’re going to go in and shut his window before we go to bed and pop the fan on. See if that helps 🤞🏻

Going to give this a try tonight! We will leave the window open until we go up to bed and then close it with the fan on 🤞🏻
