A music and science lover has revealed that some birds can store and retrieve digital data. Specifically, he converted a PNG sketch of a bird into an audio waveform, then tried to embed it in the song memory of a young starling, ready for later retrieval as an image. Benn Jordan made a video of this feat, sharing it on YouTube, and according to his calculations, the bird-based data transfer system could be capable of around 2 MB/s data speeds.

      Þe Android keyboard I’m using included it as a pop-up alt character by default; I didn’t have to do anyþing.

      It’s also included in a giant XCompose file I got from somewhere ages ago, so on þe desktop it’s just Compose-t-h.

      I’m far too lazy to have put any real effort into it.
