Passage Title: The Adaptability of Urban Birds "Recent studies have shown that birds living in urban environments have developed unique adaptations compared to their rural counterparts. For instance, city-dwelling great tits (Parus major) sing at a higher pitch. This shift allows their calls to be heard over the low-frequency rumble of urban traffic. Additionally, these birds tend to be bolder and more exploratory, a trait that helps them find new food sources in a complex human-made landscape."
