It's interesting, at the very local level I think most humans wouldn't think two adjacent bird sounds are all that similar. But if you drag along a long line and listen to a series of different birds you can "hear" a definite organized progression that seems to be organizing rhythm and major tones into groups.

On touch screen it is very BBC Radiophonic Workshop, a nice toy to get some sounds from, to suit a play on Radio 4, that sort of thing. So you could make lots of 'instruments' by applying AI to organising sounds into some space that can be used as per this example and a touchscreen. It my make ornithologists cringe but I think the merit in this work could be elsewhere, as a creative musical instrument of sorts.
