How do birds sing harmony with themselves?

Answer 1

Unlike mammals, which have a larynx that allows us to make one sound at a time, birds have a syrinx which is located where their tracheas fork. In many Songbirds the syrinx is so highly developed that they are able tp produce a sound from each side of the fork at the same time. See the related link Avian syrinx for an illustration and more information.

Answer 2

To a point, yes, to a point, no. The ability to sing is instinctual and programs itself into the bird's nervous system. That said, exposure to other birds, especially young male birds to other older male birds, develops their singing repertoire. So male birds that are exposed to older male birds at a young age are more likely to have more intricate and unique bird calls. There have been biological studies done on the brains of birds at various stages of development that support the above as well as behavioral studies of birds raised from hatching to adulthood.

Answer 3

People can't exactly sing like a bird, it is just an expression. But it means that you sing really well. To do that, you can practice singing songs, voice excercises, singing high and low notes, or you can take a singing class. With some practice, you will eventually sing really well. And remember, singing isn't for everybody.

Answer 4

Birds are able to sing in harmony with themselves by producing different pitches from separate sound sources in their syrinx, a specialized vocal organ. This allows them to create overlapping melodies and harmonies. By controlling the muscles in their syrinx, birds can produce multiple notes simultaneously, enabling them to sing in harmony with themselves.
