Publisher Note

“What Birds Say” gathers some answers to a simple, ancient question: How do you write the sound of birds? Across 64 languages, this book captures the playful, poetic ways humans mimic the calls of birds—not as translations, but as fleeting, universal echoes of the sky’s own language. A dadaistic chorus of onomatopoeia that connects us all to singing birds, one syllable at a time.
