But the answer reveals a world of extraordinary intelligence, communication, and complexity. Throughout history, birdsong has inspired art, poetry, and music, lifted human spirits, and brought backyards to life. Yet few of us stop to wonder--who are the birds singing to, and what are they trying to say? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWhy Do Birds Sing?\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Gráinne Creary unpacks the science and wonder behind avian communication. Just as human infants learn to speak, young birds learn their songs by listening and practicing until they get them right. They adjust pitch, tone, and rhythm depending on who they're \"talking\" to and what they want to express--whether it's to attract a mate, defend territory, or warn of danger. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Filled with fascinating facts and delightful observations, this book offers a new appreciation for the intelligence and emotion behind every chirp and melody. After reading it, you'll never listen to birdsong the same way again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eWhy Do Birds Sing?\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e \"This book is a bible for bird lovers.
