Has similar research been done on bird song? It seems to me that bird song could also be described as ordered recombinatorial sequences, for instance the mockingbird takes the sounds of other birds and strings them together to create new songs.

- gs17 4y agoI'm curious about mockingbirds as well, they appear to have a separate set of vocalizations for interacting directly with each other in addition to their imitated songs. I always assumed the mocking was to claim territory as every species at once, but it seems to not have a well established explanation.
