When a new generation of birds hatches, they copy the songs they hear from nearby adults. A young bird’s first attempts aren’t perfect. But like any young musician, they improve with practice.

Help support BirdNote’s mission to inspire the next generation of bird-lovers by making a donation now.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?
