Or just amusing themselves. The European parliamemt building in Brussels has a large surface of shiny glass roofs, and the local birds are amusing them- selves by picking up e.g. small pieces of stone and then dropping them from high altitiude on the roof. They seem to enjoy either the sound it makes, or the line patterns in the broken glass... Earlier today in Rome there was a performance of Stockhausen's Helicopter Quartet (the third ever worldwide) in which the four members of a string quartet perform in as many helicopter hovering above the concert hall, with the resulting music being reproduced for the audience inside. I've not seen any engineering reports on it so far, but it must have been a nice challenge as well. Ciao, -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia O tu, che porte, correndo si ?
