　　Birds in cites are damaging their health by trying to sing above the noise of urban life.

　　New research shows that male birds are trying to compete against traffic and city sounds.They are now singing louder and at higher frequencies, which could harm their vocal cords. Some birds are choosing to sing at night instead of during the day. This makes them more open to attack and also creates stress and exhaustion.

　　“The difference between urban and rural birdsong is becoming so big that the two groups could now be unable to communicate. This could lead to inbreeding and a weak gene pool,” said Dr. Sue Anne Zollinger of the university of ST.Andrew.
