Do you want an autograph? I am the world’s greatest rock star, after all. Let me just ask my security guards to bring me something to write with, so I can sign whatever it is you want. Surely, your life will be so much better now that you have met a famous bird! I love playing music, being on stage, and making my groupies happy! Nothing brings me more joy than to put on a show, let out some loud squawks, and see my fans flapping their wings to the beat of my music! You have no ticket to my upcoming show you say? No worries! I happen to have an extra! Here you go! One of the perks of being me, is, I can get almost anything I want…including tickets to my own show!

Birdsong is as old as time. Birds sing to announce their ownership of territory, to find a mate, or just for the joy of living. Of course they all sing completely different tunes, but all birds understand the nuances of other bird’s songs, even though they may sound entirely different.

There is a natural order of things. Little tweeting birds hear one another in the hedges; hawks scream in the skies; blackbirds warble across the fields. And they ignore other species.

But when the wrens first saw a microphone and realised they could make themselves heard by everybird everywhere, that changed all the rules. Suddenly it wasn’t good enough to have just the right song for your environment; you had to scream just to be heard over the wrens!

Peace could only be achieved by giving everybird a microphone, but only in designated places. Then with everybird having an equal chance to be heard, competitive interspecies birdsong began. And the fields and skies went back to the natural order of things.
