The playful audible composition of the radio documentary tells the story of the different forms love that ornithologists have for the bird species. These scientists are immersed in their methods, they know the birds' language, they imitate them, they capture them and monitor their flight.

Towards the evening, they turn on recording devices. Their waiting to hear a rare bird sing is accompanied with the doubt in the quality of the recording and the ability to merge with nature. The journey into the acoustic environment of the singing birds is just the beginning though. At the end, the observer himself becomes a part of the bird world and their protector in civilization.
