enthusiast teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s

quote [ While there are a lot of caveats and limitations there, the fact that you could set up a speaker in your yard and conceivably store any amount of data in song birds is crazy. ]

This is about bits, not about IP over Avian Carriers. It's kind of about tunes in memory though.
