It Rocks in the Tree Tops, but Is That Bird Making Music?

Scientists are finding more evidence that birdsong parallels human-made music.

By Marlowe Starling

June 6, 2023

When a bird sings, you may think you’re hearing music. But are the melodies it’s making really music? Or is what we’re hearing merely a string of lilting calls that appeals to the human ear?

Adopting a new accent isn’t entirely, or even mostly, a conscious choice. It’s a natural impulse.

That suspicious new London lilt may not be as put-on as it seems.

It might be the way I say “yur” rather than “year”, or how I told my family, when they phoned me on the train to Cardiff, that “I'll be there, now, in a minute”.
The dialect I speak is Wenglish—a hybrid of Welsh and English. It is especially prevalent in South Wales, but how to define it?
Well, it has a lilt, with a rise in intonation at the end of a sentence that can sometimes be as screechy as a train putting on its brakes. Vowels are pronounced generously, as though there is a valley to bridge when the voice moves from the consonants before and after them.

lilt
noun [S]
a gentle and pleasant rising and falling sound in a person's voice:
He's got that lovely Irish lilt in his voice.

lilting
adjective
A lilting voice or tune gently rises and falls in a way that is pleasant to listen to.
