Rumor has it some urban birds are changing their tune, in an attempt to compete with the sounds of the city. Grahame Madge, of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) in Bedfordshire, England, talks to Dean about the implications of a study conducted in London and The Netherlands about the effects of traffic noise on bird songs. Dean then heads for the streets of Manhattan, around midnight, to hear for himself. Produced by Emily Botein.
