Listen outside in any season, at almost
any time of day, and you'll hear them: songbirds. Although most
birds make some kind of noise, songbirds put on a particularly brilliant
show, using their voices to produce pleasing whistles, chirps, and
melodies to challenge one another, attract a mate, or communicate
with other members of their species. Bird songs between species
are so unique that birdwatchers can identify species just by the
song they're singing.

Although many pet songbirds enjoy having a mirror in
their cage to interact with, canaries can become overly obsessed with
their own reflection. They will spend an enormous amount of time looking
at themselves in the mirror, often forgetting to do other things like
play, eat, or drink. |
