The Great Silence :: A parrot has a question for humans
by Volker Weber
Great short story by Ted Chiang:
The humans use Arecibo to look for extraterrestrial intelligence. Their desire to make a connection is so strong that they’ve created an ear capable of hearing across the universe.
But I and my fellow parrots are right here. Why aren’t they interested in listening to our voices?
