Nah its not the birds that reduce anxiety and paranoia. It's the act of you getting off your damn phone for a few seconds.

I moved a little while ago and can now hear birds every day and it’s lovely.

The birds are talking to each other in code. They are plotting against me. I knew it!

Maybe that's because people who live in places with songbirds are less stressed than people who live in urban blight.

I want to get the songbirds back in our area but there's too many magpies, crows and herons.
One year we had 3 sparrows for a month or so and then they vanished.
We also get a single robin most years but couldn't tell if it's the same one.
I've planted trees and bushes with berries, I've got a bird house feeding station that the pigeons and magpies get into.
If I do anything that may scare the bigger birds it would also scare the smaller birds, such as a fake owl or falcon cries played on a speaker.
Going to put up 3 small bird boxes on the side of the house that doesn't get direct sunlight all day and see if that helps in a few years.
We have cats in the area too so I'm not surprised the birds stay away.
I wonder if playing birdsong would attract them or just put them in danger?

There's an internet radio station called birdsong.

No it can increase anxiety and paranoia, it is extremely aggravating for some. I agree with another commenter though that the relaxing part is getting off your phone for a minute.

Another reason why I plan to plant a native chokecherry tree in my yard next spring. Between the berries and the caterpillars which go for the leaves, the birds should have a great place to enjoy a meal.

Fun fact; they play bird songs at Tokyo subway stations to stop people getting stressed out on their morning commute.
