Study Identifies Bird with Finest Song
A recent study reveals that humans tend to prefer softer, calmer bird sounds within a limited frequency range, based on a comparison of 123 bird species and people’s evaluations of their calls. The researchers found that the song of the blackbird, characterized by a rich and melodious tone, was the most favored, while the calls of barn owls were less preferred due to their roughness. It also emerged that people's preferences are not linked to their prior knowledge of the species, and that more complex sounds tend to be more attractive. This insight could help improve the design of public spaces by emphasizing natural bird sounds.
