Relaxing qualities of EFG song?
GenusEophona 06/18 4:01am	Hey fellow finchies, I recently heard a story on the radio, about scientists involved in sleep studies who have been researching the audio effects on those who suffer from insomnia. One of their recent breakthroughs has been discovering that recorded bird song, in particular the song of the illustrious EGF has been found to slow the human heart rate and assist in eradicating stress. This is such a tremendous breakthrough, and I have always been such a fan of the bird, but now I’m seriously considering buying an EGF to keep in my bedroom and help me drift off to dreamland. I think I will name him Mr. Sandman!

She’d spin these yarns about the old Baba Yaga witch, and how she had a million bird cages in her home, filled with all different kind of song birds, each with a different sinister purpose. So yes, I guess I’ve heard of this before Genus, but honestly it all sounds a little suspect to me. I bet it’s more likely some store is just setting up to move some audio cassettes on bird songs or something.

I have never heard of bird songs though, but it might make sense that certain melodic combinations may trigger some sort of release of dopamine in the human mind, much in the way that certain methods of aromatherapy does.
