Is it true that Waterbirds may be sensitive to ambient sound?

Yes. Waterbirds are sensitive to ambient noise, altering their foraging, vigilance, and flight behaviors when exposed to anthropogenic sounds such as ship traffic and industrial infrasound.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim is specific and testable regarding whether waterbirds respond to acoustic stimuli. Multiple papers provide direct evidence supporting this statement, showing behavioral changes in response to noise levels and highlighting that anthropogenic sounds fall within birds' perceptual and navigational ranges. Therefore, the claim is supported.
