M: Certainly. Would you please give me your phone number?

W: Good evening. I'm honored to have my voice heard to make a difference in the lives of those little birds that share our city. My name is Christina. I'm an enthusiastic bird watcher. Because we cut down too many trees in the nearby areas, many birds now find places within the city to live. The most common is the area behind the large advertisement boards on the poles. It's a natural choice for the birds because the poles are similar to trees, tall and far from dangers on the ground. The surprising thing is that there are likely more than five or six kinds of birds living together at each place. While trying to learn more about these birds, I find that there have not been any consistent studies or monitoring of them. Their eating habits, adaptation to life in the city, diseases, death rate, and such other information are not available. I'd like to suggest that a program be started to study these birds. It could be convenient to employ bird watchers to do the initial studies.
