I Saved a PNG Image To A Bird
Benn Jordan
Benn Jordan's video about storing a PNG image in a living bird, a starling that learns to reproduce encoded sounds. It mixes ornithology, audio engineering, and data encoding.
HN fans point to it as a fun, nerdy crossover of bird song acoustics and technology, and the story itself got its own thread.
