Birds here still mimic the 90s car alarm (You know the one that cycles between patterns every few seconds) even though I haven't heard that particular car alarm in at least a decade. How long will it take for birds to change that song?

I'm near a military base and I've never heard birds take on the bugle songs that come over loudspeakers (e.g. revelry, taps). I've also never heard birds sing the Ice Cream truck song. What makes some certain sounds so impressionable on birds?

>What makes some certain sounds so impressionable on birds?

I'd hazard a guess it's something similar to how some patterns of noise to us are music, while other patterns of noise are akin to nails screeching across blackboard.

I don't know the science behind it, but if humans find appeal in certain noises then it won't surprise me if our peers upon this planet also do.

I'm not sure but to me it sounds like there is some similarity in how a bird modulates sounds and how primitive synthesizers do it, so I guess those sounds are easier to mimic or something
