🐦 Birds' complex songs built from simple sounds

Scientists discovered eight basic acoustic motifs that form the foundation of birdsong across over 3,000 species. This research, led by teams in France, analyzed over 116,000 recordings from 3,160 passerine species published on July 23. These motifs include different types of trills and whistles, though usage varies based on environment and biology.
