Bird-song : the biology of vocal communication and expression in birds

The sounds uttered by birds have always had a particular fascination to poets and to many ordinary people. Dr Thorpe has made a scientific study of the sounds themselves, of the circumstances in which they are uttered and of their significance; he now reviews his findings and those of his fellow scientists.
