I find these kind of articles interesting and sad. Yes, hearing birdsong - indeed, being in nature - is good for us. But it's often framed as something you escape to, as a balm away from modern life.

But what if modern life is the problem? What if the birdsong is the most important thing - where it's all at?

That's not to say the #BigGardenBirdwatch isn't a good thing. It is. I did it as a child.
