DON'T BE TOO LOUD

Songbirds in Britain are losing their tunes, The Sunday Times of London
reports.
A study has found that traffic noise has rendered many of the birds tone
deaf, turning their beautiful songs into harsh cackles.
The effect has been catastrophic for some species.
"Birds near roads cannot hear one another which leads to difficulty in
learning sounds and communicating with potential mates", said an
official with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
