What a ride. I kept waiting for the punchline to be something dumb, like "we fed a USB drive to a bird" or "we tied a recording to a bird," and then when I realized what they were gonna do, I was shocked. It should have been obvious, but it was very clever! Really cool.

Humans can barely control their voices to nail one frequency. Badly. These birds are capable of reproducing the output of several sound sources producing sounds at once, with near-perfect time and frequency precision.
