Bird songs are awesome. You probably don't pay them much mind, but the songs of birds are known to be soothing to humans, regardless of the setting. Bird songs can reduce stress and improve your mood, and on top of that, they perform for free, which is a nice bonus. Unfortunately, some species of songbirds are starting to lose their talent, and it's entirely due to dwindling population numbers.
As new research published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B explains, some male songbirds of endangered species are losing their ability to sing as well as their kin. In areas where population numbers are particularly thin, male songbirds can often have trouble picking up on the songs that the species uses to attract mates. Just like in human populations, the culture of these birds is being lost as it fails to be passed on to new generations over time.
