#birds #science this is really comical, I had to laugh out loud reading it: Apparently biologists have been so sexist that female birdsong was represented in their research like as 0. something% of the whole. We were all taught, that female birds don't sing.While it is much closer to 50 %, somewhat less in the northern hemisphere. Is there any place men are not projecting their crazy worldview on? We see what we project outward, wherever we look, I 'spose. But this strikes me as rather funny. Really. I mean... Does it ever stop...at anything..
it reminds me of men that shush women that laugh" too loudly". https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/19/hidden-world-of-female-birdsong-book

@Tamtam Excuse me? Why on earth would you research birds and ignore 50% of them? Was there just someone who said "Female birds don't sing!" and everyone after them just called it a day? What about verifying? 🥲
