This is Bird Note.

Can I get that just one more time, Michael?

Sure, John.

This is Bird Note.

And today, we're taking you behind the scenes.

It takes a lot to bring you the rich sounds of birds yodeling,

cooing,

and screeching to you each day.

It's a meticulous process of researching, writing, fact-checking, editing, recording,

and sound design. That's all done by our in-house production team.

Let's try that line with a little more animation.

Birdnote is a non-profit organization, and this week we're asking for your help.

Your donations at birdnote.org ensure that every word, every sound, every minute is as stunning as the next.

Thank you. every minute is as stunning as the next. Your donation helps Bird Note to employ our small but mighty team,

in addition to an impressive list of freelance writers and scientists.

And of course our star voice actors, like me, Michael Stein.

And me, Ariana Rimmel.

None of this would be possible without you.

And every dollar counts.

We just ask that you make a gift of any size today at birdnote.org to keep birdnote soaring.
