--
A brown thrasher knows a thousand songs. A wood thrush can sing two pitches at once. A mockingbird can match the sounds around it - including car alarms. These are just a few of the 4,000 species of songbirds. How do these birds learn songs? How do they know to mimic the songs of their own species? Are they born knowing how to sing? Partha P. Mitra illuminates the beautiful world of birdsong.
Lesson by Partha P. Mitra, animation by TED-Ed.

There's an amazing story about a flute player in 1930s that had a lyrebird pet that mimicked his music and when he later released it into the wild, it literally passed the sounds of the musician to the later lyrebird generations and they can even be heard today in the birds' songs! Birds are awesome creatures

Yeah i'm a little surprised TED didn't focus a bit more on the lyrebird in this. It can imitate any sound it hears if it hears it often enough and uses the unique sound to attract a mate. Things like chainsaws, doors closing, trees being cut down. Really neat creature.

it may shock you but people are animals, not supreme overlords, no one resembles our divine image, we are like any other animals except it seems to be we're dumber as apparently many of us can't even process the simplest information received via their senses.. it is incredible mystery to me how you see people speak different language than yours and understand that they have language and still asking do birds/cats/whales have one🤦‍♂️

I am not sure if you are familiar with the Bible... In Genesis it says "let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground. God made man in His own image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them. God also allows Adam to name them...which gives him authority over the animals.

Maybe that's why music from around the world shares similar characteristics and why we use similar intervals and why we like those sounds, it's hardwired into as to express ourselves through song or to enjoy hearing others do the same and in such a way that certain patterns will evolve, could be why you hear the exact same chord progression from Canon in D in all different styles or why we base catchy guitar riffs, etc on scales.

If a baby song bird hears the song of a bird from a different species will it imitate it? And if bread with other birds that grew up the same will they teach their babies the song? And after multiple generations will it still start to sound like the culture songs? And what if babies that picked up songs from two different species breed?

You can't really cross-breed birds. It can happen (like with some conures) but it leads to deformities so it's a bit unethical.

@beadmecreative9485
@beadmecreative9485 4 года назад
It said in the video that the birds brain is hard wired to listen and pick up its own species song. It also said if a bird is isolated, singing is hired wired in their DNA so they will sing no matter what. If there is an isolated bird colony, they might just start singing however they wanted to but it said in the video that as most and more birds are born throughout the generations, the song becomes more and more similar to an unisolated population’s song. So that means that singing a particular song is hard wired into their DNA. Most birds have very different vocal abilities so a robin will not sound like a crow because their vocal chords are different. Many parrot species like cockatiels, parrots, parakeets have very complex mimicking abilities so they can mimic very foreign sounds like clicking, song tunes, human voice, even other animals and birds. Also adopting other species birds are not very common among birds, they have an instinct to take care of their babies.

"Isolated birds have different songs than regular ones, but sound similar to them after a hile of repeating them." Does that mean that if we put a bunch of people who have never heard a single language like on an island, isolated or smth, would they develop some kind of dialect similar to that of modern man? Or ancient man instead?
