Female Birdsong

This episode—which is Number 50— is all about Female Birdsong. Songs are one of the things we love most about birds. They define the soundscapes of the natural world. Even though humans have been surrounded by singing birds for millions of years, we still have some misconceptions about birdsong. Today’s episode is about a misconception of sex differences in birds… Of who sings and who doesn’t. ~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~ Links of Interest The Forgotten Female: How a Generation of Women Scientists Changed Our View of EvolutionFemale Bird Song ProjectVideo of Superb Fairy Wren female SingingSinging female Cerulean Warblers [Video] Link to this episode on the Science of Birds website Support the show
