Birdsong is the natural sounds of nature that we are genetically connected to. We hear them before we are born, then early childhood and throughout our entire future lives. They seem to encode information about how our body should actually work.

Beneficial Effects

One can only be surprised at the beneficial effects of birdsong on the human psyche. Some bird songs are calming, others are uplifting. After some melodies, “the soul reaches out to the pen, the pen to the paper,” and after others, a sound sleep sets in.

Nightingale singing is iridescent, “multi-generational”, with whistles, with alternating soft and harsh, loud and quiet musical overtones. Therefore, it invigorates, creates a life-affirming mood, and calls for active activity. It treats well depressive conditions, neuroses, relieves headaches, and activates the work of all organs and systems. The perky flute songs of the warbler have a similar effect on humans. Rapid heartbeat and arrhythmia can be relieved by bird songs with uniform rhythms - canaries, song thrushes, buntings, finches.

The sonorous, cheerful melodies of the goldfinch and siskin help with neuroses and activate the work of the whole organism.

Chronic hypertension is relieved by the calm and smooth songs of the blackbird.

First spring bird- robin. Most often she sings in the early morning and before sunset. The song of the Robin is easy to recognize - its iridescent whistles begin with a short characteristic creaking. She is very optimistic. It has been noticed that the sound vibrations emitted by robins relieve headaches, heart and joint pain, spasms in the liver, stomach, heart, and blood vessels. Harmonious sound vibrations are very useful for those who suffer from insomnia.

The evening forest is filled with the hubbub of birds: nightingales, songbirds, blackbirds, robins, and finches selflessly trill. A walk in the forest before bed has a beneficial effect on the general condition of the body, significantly reducing the processes of excitation in the cerebral cortex. After such a walk, a good, sound sleep follows.

It is important that a person, coming to a forest or park, be able to isolate the voice of the desired bird and concentrate on it. This means that first you need to learn to distinguish between them by listening to the voices of birds recorded on records, disks, and tapes. The famous Russian biophysicist B. Veprintsev released a large series of records with recordings of the voices of birds living in Russia.

It’s better to “treat” every day. If in the morning you already feel unwell, there is a loss of strength, take a healing session immediately after getting out of bed. If, on the contrary, in the first half of the day you are active and cheerful, you feel good, and by the evening you are too tired and literally “squeezed out” - then take “treatment” in the second half of the day, preferably before bed.

In April, larks will ring over the fields. Their singing is flowing, with melodic trills. The skylark has a forest brother, the spinning top, whose singing is dominated by long, gentle trills that create joy and peace in the soul.

In May, in the dense bushes along the banks of the rivers, you can hear a continuous soft chirping - this is the voice of a cricket, a small brownish-gray mobile bird. Her rhythmic singing helps with overexcitation of the nervous system, increased heart rate, and cardiovascular diseases.

It is very useful to communicate with birds in nature. But recognizing the voices of birds and distinguishing them from the general chorus is often beyond the power of even experienced ornithologists. So first, get some recordings of bird voices and listen to them at home. Armed with a wealth of knowledge, you can try to isolate the desired voice from the polyphony. It is important to learn to turn off the rest of the background noise and create a communication channel between certain combinations of sounds and the corresponding centers in the cerebral cortex.

Birdsong has a powerful psychotherapeutic effect in winter. A simple chirp is a remedy for winter depression, light deficiency and general depression.

Remember the morning somewhere in the forest or at the dacha. And even in the city, sometimes you can hear it through an open window. We are talking about the melody that our smaller brothers - the birds - give us. This is who modern musicians and singers who bring very dubious works of art into this world should take as an example. And the most natural and natural melodies that birds produce allow you to enjoy these blissful vibrations. However, in winter or in a metropolis, which is already completely contrary to the laws of nature, you can hardly hear birds singing. However, harsh winter days or life in the concrete jungle are not at all a reason to refuse the divine music that birds make.

Communication with birds convinced ornithologist-bioacoustics, Doctor of Biological Sciences Valery Dmitrievich Ilyichev that bird voices have a healing effect on humans.
“Nature has provided birds with a unique mechanism for producing sound,” says Valery Dmitrievich. “The vocal apparatus of birds is like a mini-orchestra - a duet or quartet, with the help of which the feathered miracle of nature performs its virtuoso musical works.
The singing of birds cannot leave a person indifferent. It calms, cheers, puts you in a romantic mood, heals the soul, brings into balance all the processes occurring in your body. A singing bird creates harmony of soul, psyche and body, that is, it helps a person to heal.

Valery Dmitrievich Ilyichev explains the therapeutic effect of birdsong on humans. Sounds enter the so-called auditory cortex through the ear and excite it. And from it the rest of the cerebral cortex becomes excited. Since all the work of the body is regulated in one way or another by the brain, the changes occurring in the brain affect absolutely all physiological processes. Even simple sound vibration can influence the functioning of any organ, even the cell. But musical sounds are, in essence, primarily a fixed and stable harmony. Submitting to it, all organs and systems in the human body begin to work harmoniously and correctly.

Man is genetically connected with the sounds that birds make, and this sound environment is initially pleasant to him. The voices of birds are fixed in the structures of the human brain as an irritant associated with joy. And the connection between positive emotions and physical health is well known.

Ilyichev noticed that among people living surrounded by birds, there are many long-livers. He explains this by the fact that all biological processes in the human body will in this case be synchronized by the singing of birds. When people began to live in huge cities, they deprived themselves of communication with birds in their natural environment. But they couldn’t do without their wonderful and healing singing for a long time, and then they decided to keep the birds in cages so that the little singer and healer would always be at hand.

For example, the nightingale's singing - iridescent, multi-layered, with alternating soft and sharp, loud and quiet musical overtones - invigorates, creates mood, and calls for work. It treats depression, neurosis, and relieves headaches. The perky flute songs of the little warbler have a similar effect on humans.

Rapid heartbeat and arrhythmia can be relieved by bird songs with uniform rhythms - canaries, song thrushes, buntings, finches. Loud, cheerful melodies produced by the goldfinch or siskin help with neuroses, irritability, and fatigue. Chronic hypertension is treated with the calm songs of the blackbird.

The sound vibrations emitted by morning birds relieve headaches, heart and joint pain, spasms in the liver, stomach, heart, and blood vessels. These harmonious sound vibrations are also useful for those who suffer from insomnia.

Arriving in a forest or park, we must be able to isolate the voice of the desired bird and focus on it. Therefore, first you need to learn to distinguish the voices of birds recorded on records, disks, and tapes. Then, in the forest, amid the discordance of bird songs, you need to try to highlight the voices of already known birds. Then learn to hear the voice of one bird and tune in to it, like a certain sound wave, turning off the rest of the background sound.

These are the basics of ornithotherapy: with this attunement, a person suffering from, for example, hypertension, seems to create a communication channel between a certain combination of sounds and control centers in the cerebral cortex, which dilates blood vessels and removes spasm. The singing of a blackbird will help chronic hypertensive patients, especially if you walk in the forest more often . The sounds made by blackbirds, with their frequencies, also affect the pain centers of the brain, which are excited during chronic migraines.

In April, larks will ring over the fields. Their singing is flowing, with melodic thirds. The skylark has a forest brother, the spinning top, whose singing is dominated by long, gentle trills that create joy and peace in the soul.

Later, in May, in the dense bushes along the river banks you can hear a continuous soft chirping sound, similar to the voice of a grasshopper. This is the voice of a cricket, a small brownish-gray, mobile bird. Her rhythmic singing helps with overexcitation of the nervous system, increased heart rate, and cardiovascular diseases.

“If a bird lives in your apartment, in a cage,” advises Valery Dmitrievich, “first of all, you need to ensure that the bird sings as much as possible. To do this, use various sound stimulants, such as tape recordings of classical music or bird trills. The easiest way is to open the tap in the kitchen or bathroom and let the water flow. Soon your bird will also begin to purr softly and pleasantly to the ear. Any bird in the house is healing: it will create a mood, disperse sadness, and soothe pain. I still remember my first bird from my distant wartime childhood - the goldfinch Tishka. One day in the bitter winter they brought firewood, which we, the children, had to chop. From those times I have a deep scar on my hand, when I injured it with inept movements of an ax. I remember gushing blood and terrible pain. There were no painkillers in the house. I just rocked my bandaged sore hand and at some point showed it to Tishka. Tishka, who had been sitting calmly on the perch, began to jump restlessly, and then settled down on the highest place in the cage and began to sing. He sang his best songs to me, and they sounded especially loud and even cheerful, as if comforting and encouraging me. I listened to the goldfinch, admiring his singing, and suddenly noticed that the pain had gone away. She returned in the evening, when Tishka, exhausted, stopped singing and fell asleep. But this pain could already be endured...

All birds adore their owners and affectionate address They respond with wonderful singing. It is especially useful for children to communicate with them. Birds are active, mobile creatures, their behavior corresponds to the inquisitive nature of the child. When a child learns to speak, he will benefit from such a unique partner as a singing and talking bird. Under the influence of birdsong, children develop an ear for music. Children who are easily excited become calmer, fall asleep more easily, and sleep more soundly.

Talking birds are irreplaceable companions and friends of lonely elderly people. The most common of these birds are budgies- They are inexpensive, but their benefits are great.

Valery Dmitrievich, together with Doctor of Biological Sciences O. Silaeva, created a Center for Bioacoustic Rehabilitation on the basis of a hospital near Moscow. His doctors were looking for a way to speed up the recovery of patients after surgery and exacerbations of chronic ailments. Ilyichev suggested that such patients listen to tape-recorded compositions composed of voices different birds depending on the condition of the patients and specific diseases.

Ilyichev also has his own experience using his technique.

– Not long ago I was hospitalized. My illness was accompanied by a severe headache, which doctors had difficulty removing with strong drugs. Then my colleagues composed a sound composition that reduced pain. They installed a stereo system in my room so I could listen to birdsong. Before this, we had not yet tested “painful” compositions on people, and I was the first to test my own invention. And he was shocked by the results: after half an hour the painful headache disappeared and never returned.

I, like other lovers of bird singing, have a lot of CDs and records in my music library, so the polyphonic bird choir sounds in my house all the time. Although no disks can replace the bird living next to you, which you tenderly care for. In gratitude, she gives you joy and inspiration, saves you from loneliness and life’s anxieties, loves and heals.
