balad where she found bird singing protest songs in this video of rallies in the netherlands she shows us how animals respond to heated situation. animals not only pick up sounds but also human emotions from agitated crowds during uprisings and demonstrations this art installation playfully explores this idea but scientists say they have found enough evidence to confirm that there's more interaction between birds and humans than we might expect. i think that all. of the. research or how the slab of corn found that birds generally copy sounds of other animals but also human sounds especially when these are unusual possibly frightening them and what we believe and that is not proven but rather believe is that in many of those species the bigger the repertoire the more attractive these males are i mean that sense if you're going to show off with some really strange sounds in your repertoire you may become really attractive although well we need
