bird on a wire... (4:20, Willie Nelson, Tower Of Song: The Songs Of Leonard Cohen, 1995)

Ako je još nekome iritantna ona reklama za Hoto Ville imam jednu copy&paste vijest za zabrinuti se: Birds mimic ringtones German ornithologists claim that some birds are now singing the songs of cell phone ringtones. Richard Schneider of the NABU bird conservation center near Tuebingen says that jackdaws, starlings, and jays are the best mimics. Still, the birds apparently can't copy more complex polyphonic ringtones. From Deutsche Presse-Agenture: One reason for the phenomenon was that these birds were increasingly common in the urban environment, even the relatively shy jay, (Schneider) said. "There is food and an increasing amount of green space in modern cities." The birds were simply adapting to their environment in imitating human sounds in what he termed an "evolutionary playground." Za one koji ne znaju engleski (i one koji imaju crno bijele televizore); riječ je o tome da su njemački ornitolozi otkrili kako neke ptice sada oponašaju zvukove iz mobilnih telefona. Ipak, čini se kako ne mogu pjevati kompleksnije polifone melodije. Misao dana: I always wanted to read a book, but how to choose which one? |
