While working outside on a beautiful spring day, I heard a bird singing a perfect triad in a minor key. Although its song was beautiful, minor keys are associated with sadness and I wondered why the bird would feel sad. Is it possible that the birds can feel feelings just as we do? Are birds so highly intelligent that they recognize music is a universal language and use it to communicate feelings? There are countless examples of intelligent behavior in the animal kingdom. Our planet possesses a complex ecosystem and it is important to realize how our daily actions affect our fragile island home. Imagine a world without birds or without other animal life forms. If the animals could talk to us, what would they tell us about the damage we are causing their environment?
