Learn more about TED-Ed's student voice initiative here: 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

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.

Thank you very much for this lesson. We needed this illustration to fully understand the mechanism for learning song in birds.
A question please, do you authorize me to make a translation of the subtitling in Arabic to make it understood by the bird lovers of my association? And thank you in advance my friend!

All the nights I stay up till about 5am I start to hear birds and no Im gomme be terribly tired tomorrow, but they walkway sing the same pattern this time in the morning. I cant really explain by text but the beat is sort of like this: Chirp chirp chirpchirp chirpchirp and just repeats it for a few minutes

I read somewhere babies have the innate response directly after birth to crawl onto their mothers stomach but after that, they loose the ability for a few months

Birds are great at singing and calling companion to sing.
while Velociraptors are singing to call companions to eat you ALIVE.

That's so wrong. that means Muslims will regress and diverge from rest of us and become another species with in few generations.

. two birds hit our window at my math class (not at the same day) and possibly died. But at least math got more interesting.

Yep! Anyone interested in the human version of this should read The Language Instinct by Steven Pinker. It's sooo good!
