Urban traffic noise causes song learning deficits in birds


Recommended Posts

Traffic noise leads to inaccuracies and delays in the development of song learning in young birds. They also suffer from a suppressed immune system, which is an indicator of chronic stress. A new study shows that young zebra finches, just like children, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of noise because of its potential to interfere with learning at a critical developmental stage.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/birds/~4/rh6mjAq26qc
