-
- Nature
Birds sing to "defend and impress" (All About Birds). Bird songs are good for soul, though this depends on the person listening, the species of bird, and the type of sound they are making (Dr. Eleanor Ratcliffe via Natural History Museum UK). New Yorker Elijah Shiffer composes jazz pieces to celebrate the birds he observes in the city. Shiffer is a saxophonist, a composer, a music critic, and a bird guide. Excerpts from several of the songs on Shiffer's new album, City Of Birds, Volume I, are included in this episode.
You can find Elijah Schiffer online at https://www.elijahshiffer.com/ and @elijahshiffer.
Season 4 of Your Bird Story aka CHIRP is funded with a Voice for Nature Foundation grant.
Creator and Host: Georgia Silvera Seamans
Producer and Editor: Pod to the People
