Birds use songs to attract and locate one another. Each song is specific, has its own tone, sequence and arrangement of notes. According to Darwin, when birds migrate and the environmental conditions are different, natural selection gradually chooses the fittest birds. Evolution therefore affects the bird’s population as it would then mainly be constructed gradually from the fittest bird’s mold. Noting this, the bird song melodically does not change but the performance and temporal nature can change. Species of birds have distinct songs, and the individual singers might have their own differences found in the songs. These findings are being extensively researched as scientists are still wrapping their minds around the significance of bird songs.
Birds use songs to attract and locate one another. Every species has their own unique bird song for this purpose alone. If a single bird migrates to a new environment, it will be lost in the unheard and the stranger until it can find another one just like it. Together, then, they will evolve, keeping their melody from their home within them. Nonetheless, this melody is not heard at home, home has become silent and the voices are far away.
