What is the role of inheritance and learning in the development of birdsong in young birds?
Inheritance influences the development of birdsongs as the basic song for all birds of the same species is the same. If a bird is raised in isolation it can still sing but its song will lack complexity. Learning also plays a role as young birds learn details of songs from their fathers or other birds. This ability to learn is genetic.

Is courtship behavior unique to a species?
No. Many species have a form of courtship behavior. A particular form of courtship behavior is usually unique to a species. Birds are a species that have really flashy courtship behaviors. But each kind of bird seems to use a specialized form of courtship. Mockingbirds sing, and sing, and sing, and sing until the people around them are ready to shoot the birds! Other kinds of birds may use a form of dancing to attract a mate. I've seen programs on TV that show fascinating birds dancing, flashing their wings or tails, making specialized drumming noises in their throats to tell a potential mate that they are really great male birds for mating! Other birds may build a house, showing how good they are to provide a home for making babies. Some mammals may show a potential mate that they are great hunters, and can feed any babies they can make. All courtship is aimed at telling a potential mate that they are capable of providing a home and food for babies. Human beings seem to be the only species that does not feel the need for this.
