Ode to Robert Stroud - Birds
Burt Lancaster would be proud. More than 40 years after the film "The Birdman of Alcatraz" hit movie theaters, the name of Robert Stroud -- while not necessarily a household word -- is still recognized in many avian circles for his groundbreaking (at the time) study and research on birds and diseases. His two volumes "Diseases of canaries" and "Stroud's Digest of the Diseases of Birds" are still in print and although much of the information is outdated, the books are still worth looking in to.
So why do Birds really sing in the Fall?
Birds sing for a variety of reasons, and not all of these motivations are linked to displays of pleasure. As their primary form of communication, birds sing to greet one another, attract a potential mate, issue a warning and even mark and defend their territory.
