Birds communicate with signals and that seems to be enough for them. They don't generally live in social communities, or hunt together.

- anon84873628 2y agoSounds right to me. If birds started to hunt prey in flocks _then_ there would be an advantage to incrementally increasing communication ability.

- nabla9 2y agoThere was no gain for them for advanced coordination. Unless they start to hunt, farm, or build technology, complex grammar has little evolutionary benefit. Birds do learn from observation. Even from other birds and animals.
