A review by perilous1
The Great Silence by Ted Chiang

3.0

A brief, evocative look at humanity through the eyes of an endangered parrot. The story runs on the what-if premise of the bird in question being sentient, and lamenting the effects of humanity on its species. (It also takes a stab at explaining why no sentient alien life would have contacted humanity.)

You find out at the end that this was written to accompany a video, as a part of a project. Perhaps in combination it is more impactful... but this review is of the written work as it stands on its own.
