NATURE'S MUSIC

With over 800 species of birds in South Africa, it seems that this abundance of birds is also good for our health.  The mayor of a desert city in California has proposed that the recorded sound of birds should be broadcast through the city, saying that "scientific studies have shown that bird sounds improve happiness, and that piping them through speakers will ultimately improve residents' health."  Fortunately, we have the real thing.  So be sure to spend as much time outdoors as possible, enjoying nature's music and getting healthier as well.
