Birds chirping in the background?

Since I have started this course I have noticed background sounds of birds chirping? Why?

Treehouse used to be designed around a narrative concept that included a backstory where all teachers were working from a jungle island, Treehouse Island. We designed our instructional videos to fit into that world. Since then we've changed our content and the birds and jungle sounds are no longer a part of our videos. As our content gets revised and replaced, these videos containing the old set and sounds in the background will be retired.

Birds use their voices to communicate with other birds. Using voice is a particularly efficient way to communicate over distance, especially when you are small and live in dense habitats such as woodlands. That's why.
