Pop up exhibition for British Birdsongs
Location:
Natural History Museum, London
Humans have a long and complex relationship with birds. Birds have been trapped and kept for centuries; used as food, decoration, communication, entertainment and often times kept as pets for their songs.
The human experience with birds in the wild, however, is quite different. It is most often fleeting.
Like each instrument in an orchestra, each bird has it's own distinct song. Their songs have been captured here.
Are you able to tell which birds' song you're hearing?
"We hear them, but hardly see them."
