> do you mean to tell me you'd opt to show them the oscilloscope representation of the sound wave that each bird makes rather than playing them an actual recording of each call? Useful visual representations of bird calls do exist. For example: http://earbirding.com/blog/specs http://earbirding.com/blog/specs

...And from this page [0] I now know what a warble is. There's at least one additional pattern not on that grid that I've always thought was a warble, but apparently isn't - in my head it's basically a sine wave, but maybe I'm getting it confused with a "series" pattern? Quite glad you posted this counterpoint. I mentioned it elsewhere, but I've informally done the same thing back when learning Spanish to assist in pronunciation. Quick edit: The "possible fifth pattern" isn't a fifth pattern, it's actually on this page [1], a "triplet series".
