Directions: Read the following paragraphs and demonstrate your understanding by answering
the questions that follow.
Every morning when this author starts her morning prayer, she always hear birds singing
or producing distinct sounds that are usually serve as her musical background while praying.
The small altar at home is actually located near the windows in the living room, hence, she can
hear the sounds these birds make. She seems to enjoy that musical sound because it gives her
the feeling that she is inside a cathedral where silence prevails, and only the sound these birds
make echo. She can further create a mental picture of the sky or heaven and the angels singing.
That makes her feel good to welcome her day.
But as the author listens to these melodious sounds, a series of questions flood her mind.
Are these birds talk to me? If so, what must be their message? Or they are enchanting her with
their musical and soothing sounds? Do birds really sing? Do they produce the same sound?
From the website about Bird Songs, the author learned the following….
“The songs a bird sings are usually distinctive to its species. Scientists believe a
bird is born with a “neurological model” of what its song should sound like. The baby learns
that song by matching the sounds it hears from its father and male neighbors. Scientists call
this theory the auditory template hypothesis. In this theory, song learning begins at about ten
days after hatching and continues for about 40 days. Baby birds then practice their songs
through the fall and winter. By spring, birds have developed a “crystalized” song. To
communicate, birds combine songs and other vocalizations with certain behaviors and
outward appearances. Males tend to sing more than females, and they sing more in the spring.
Songs help proclaim territory, attract mates, and maintain a pair bond. Most songbirds have
several songs and calls. Birds in the Mimid family (the mocking bird, catbird, and brown
thrasher) have very large repertoires. Scientists believe that repertoires increase with age and
may indicate to females the health and experience of the male. A songbird uses its syrinx, a
vocal organ in its throat, to create a song. A bird’s song can vary in pitch, tone length, number
of notes, and special sounds. The two halves of the syrinx can produce songs simultaneously
so a bird may sing harmonies with itself, resulting in extremely rich and complex melodies. No
human voice can equal this feat.” Birds Song (n.d).
