Here's something I learned not long ago. Birds in Central Park (and presumably other urban centers, but the study was done in Central Park), are changing the frequency and other aspects of their song, in order to be heard over traffic, radios, and other forms of human racket. The male birds who are most easily heard are most likely to find mates, so there's a biologicial advantage in doing so.

Wretches & Jabberers

In 'Wretches & Jabberers and Stories from the Road', two men with autism embark on a global quest to change prevailing attitudes about disability and intelligence. With limited speech, Tracy Thresher, 42, and Larry Bissonnette, 52, both faced lives of mute isolation in mental institutions or adult disability centers. When they learned as adults to communicate by typing, their lives changed dramatically. Their world tour message is that the same possibility exists for others like themselves. At each stop, they dissect public attitudes about autism and issue a hopeful challenge to reconsider competency and the future. Along the way, they reunite with old friends from the USA, expand the isolated world of a talented young painter and make new allies in their cause.
