COLCHESTER – Fed up with the fact that people’s loud radios drown out bird song, Vermont avian species are teaming up with Vermont Public Radio affiliates across the state to develop a new station called WJAY to showcase the seasonal calls of our feathered friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the holidays upon us, some enterprising birds at WBTN in Bennington have flown to success with their wildly popular segment “Four Call-In Birds” Inspired by The View, cohosts Herman Thrush, Chick Adee, Bob White and Goldy Finch, chirp about bird-themed gift ideas for loved ones. “Local bird feeder sales have doubled since we started airing in mid-November,” they crowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, in partnership with Vermont Public Television, other local species are developing a program called “This Birdhouse.” Modeled after a home renovation show, host Byrd Birdan will explain to humans how to re-purpose would-be trash to make bird habitats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Human spokesperson for the cross-media venture, Ray Dio mused, “By doing this, we’re kinda killing two birds with one stone: educating people about our winged buddies and garnering a greater audience.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
