Recently, New York Times published an article entitled Can You Understand Bird? This article mentions in the animal kingdom, birds, not primates, communicate with the level of vocal complexity and variability closest to ours. Ornithologists have made progress in understanding the rich variety of ways in which birds converse.
Can You Understand Bird? includes a quiz that provides a sound bite with a follow-up question about what the bird is saying. Based upon your answer, a more detailed answer is provided regarding what the bird is “saying.”
Spend a few minutes to read the article and take the quiz. I know I learned more about bird songs.
