Do you ever listen to birds singing catchy little melodies and wonder - wait a second, do they know music theory? Can they sing in thirds and fifths? Half steps and whole steps? Do they have perfect pitch?

And Ben turns to the subreddit for theories on why our windshields are no longer splattered with bugs.
