  • gumballer, on 05/26/2009, -1/+2Hey, wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?
  • Stevanoski, on 05/28/2009, -0/+1We have many grackles in our berg so the mocking birds all screech the grackle sound (imagine a rusty tricycle).
  • inactive, on 05/28/2009, -0/+1 Around here,Ive only heard one do a car alarm once. But we have a resident bird who ove the years has done ducks,frogs,and crickets...This year though,his songs have not had anything really interesting thrown in..I guess he's loosing his touch.
  • CDollars, on 05/26/2009, -2/+2This study is totally biased. Botero did his own research and drew his own conclusions. This is an example of experimenter bias (thank you, PSYCH 101).
  • perre, on 05/26/2009, -2/+2The birds in major cities no longer sing their own tunes. They sing CAR ALARMs. It's sad actually.
  • Lurial, on 05/26/2009, -1/+1well if thats the case lets just kill all the birds. that'l show em!
  • itstodd, on 05/26/2009, -2/+2I also heard that unpredictable weather can lead to dumb ass science stories...
  • Rudegar, on 05/26/2009, -2/+1so climate changes is their fault ?

  • LizardSlayer, on 05/26/2009, -5/+4LEAVE BRITNEY ALOOOONE!

  • beachsouthpaw, on 05/26/2009, -1/+0Atticus told me it was wrong to kill a Mockingbird..........
  • AbbyRoad, on 05/26/2009, -5/+3Interesting, but the article does very little to explain how this could measure the evolution of important human developments.
  • immatellyouwhat, on 05/26/2009, -5/+1"Lalala my nuts are cold lalala!"

    wait do birds have nuts?
  • anexanhume, on 05/26/2009, -7/+1Does this mean it will start raining nasty vaginas if they start singing Britney Spears tunes?
