Blue Jay

Look at my feathers, aren't they neat? All the other birds are jealous! And why wouldn't they be? Not only are my feathers soft, they're luxurious and beautifully coloured, drawing their pretty blue colour from the way the light refracts around their internal structure. But enough about my feathers! I'm sure you're not here just because I'm a pretty face? What’s that? You are simply dying to learn more about me? Well…I never thought you’d ask!

I’m a bold, noisy and outgoing little jaybird - I bet you never guessed that about me?. And, although my natural habitats are pine, fir and deciduous forests, I’ll happily raid the fruit trees in your garden, and I won’t be shy about letting you know I’m there! The only thing that actually scares me is birds of prey, because I’m not speedy enough to outfly them. So - although it is very hard for me to admit it - I really do need you to look after me…oh, and you might as well admire me while you’re at it…hmmmm?

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.
