Bird Sound

For sounds made by birds, see Bird vocalization.

Bird Sound () is a hazardous but navigable sound, 1 mile (1.6 km) long and 0.5 miles (0.8 km) wide, separating Bird Island from the west end of South Georgia. The names La Roche Strait and Bird Sound were used interchangeably for this feature on charts for many years. Bird Sound, which takes its name from nearby Bird Island, is approved on the basis of local usage.
