Relax to the tranquil sounds of birdsong with the new Birdsong.fm app. Escape the city and liberate your senses and mind. Listen at home, whilst you’re commuting or unwind at the end of a stressful day. Birdsong has been proven to help reduce stress, keep you focused and can even help you get to sleep. “Birdsong is the sound which most people find reassuring. There is a reason for that. Over thousands of years we’ve learned that when the birds are singing, things are safe. It’s when they stop that you need to be worried.” Julian Treasure (TED), Sound Consultant
