FROM woods and meadows, suburban yards and city parks, a mixed chorus of avian melodies announces the arrival of spring. But many researchers who study bird songs are staying indoors. In laboratories equipped with sound-proof cages, spectrographs, computers and electron microscopes, they’re trying to unravel the surprising complexities of those ode-inspiring utterances.
What they’re finding suggests that even poets may have underpraised the communicative skills and musicality of song birds. And students of man may have overrated the individuality of human language and therefore the ability to speak through sound.
“Birds are using an equivalent sensory apparatus we use to process sounds, but they’re using it to create a totally different universe than we sleep in ,” Dr. Jeffrey Cynx of the Rockefeller University in ny said in an interview.
