Finches learn their songs primarily from adult male finches, especially their fathers, during a critical period in their early development. This learning process involves listening to and mimicking the songs of these adult birds, which helps them develop their own unique song. The process typically includes a sensory phase, where young finches memorize the songs, followed by a sensorimotor phase, where they practice and refine their singing. Environmental factors and social interactions also play a role in shaping their vocalizations.
