I ❤ White Throated Sparrows

Much like humans react to music birds react to the sound of surrounding bird calls. It has recently been found that birds react and display emotions while listening to other birds sing. For example during mating season the female sparrow will react to the male sparrows song as though it was soothing and pleasant music to a human.There are signs in the amygdala (The brains emotion center) of strong emotions when they hear possible female mates, and different emotions when hearing a competitive male singing nearby. Because of hormonal changes in the bodies of these birds they perceive the songs differently than the standard song.
