Best Answer

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.
