Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)
Songbirds typically begin learning their species-specific songs during the first few weeks or months of their lives. Young birds learn by imitating the songs they hear and then through practice match the sounds to the songs they have memorized.
Songbirds are called songbirds because they produce complex and beautiful musical sounds, which are used for communication, territorial defense and attracting mates.
