Shownotes Transcript

Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work. In this episode we're talking birdsong: Why do they sing? How do they learn? What happens if they can't hear each other? 

Cosmos science journalist Imma Perfetto talks to Dr Dominique Potvin, a behavioural ecologist, evolutionary biologist, ornithologist, and senior lecturer in Animal Ecology at the University of the Sunshine Coast, to find out what we know about chirps, chortles and the science of song.
