The male sparrow has not come back since. It has been some days since i last saw him and i am missing his trills. Experts say that the calls of birds have a narrow message content.So Twitter is rather an apt name for an extremely limited social forum. getting back to the topic of birds. Their songs, say experts lack the varied reference of individual moods. The bird songs are discussed in relation to artistic development by Gardner because they are intricate.
Artistic development is also rather intricate.Gardner points out that there are three systems that mark development and are common to human and animal life.These systems are: making, perceiving and feeling. The first system, termed the making system is all about the "schemes" the animal can perform. This word used by Gardner is rather intriguing.The schematic planning in animals seems of interest for to create something we need to have a plan, a scheme. This schematic planning is evident in nature.
Sometimes, i wonder, whether an aberration or, moving away from the scheme is creativity. Is art an expression of the inherent scheme or is it a moving away? Watching little children and animals give us an answer. I am still searching for the answer.
Surely, the warblers are creative. Maybe they are simply conveying something mundane to their kin , but to human ears the bird song is music. That is , sensory stimulation , an all important ingredient for development is available to us.Meanwhile it almost noon and i can hear the deafening sounds of vehicles crossing my street.
In India, traffic rules are bureaucratic and no one worries about sound pollution brought about by vehicles.Except when one has to pay the price. Children may turn deaf, the old may get disturbed but the long line of raucous vehicles will wend their way through the city. Will this kind of sensory stimulus help? Oxygen joined the Patna traffic police bid to curb horn honks. We should all think of joining in.
