    Oh wow, just learned that there is also a similar disorder-or-norm-derivation in regards to music: amusia. That is so horrible!

    "Amusia is a musical disorder that appears mainly as a defect in processing pitch but also encompasses musical memory and recognition. Two main classifications of amusia exist: acquired amusia, which occurs as a result of brain damage, and congenital amusia, which results from a music-processing anomaly present since birth."

      Editing … Sounds interesting. I wonder if they could still appreciate bird sounds. Birds don’t actually care about pitch either. They care about the type of sound they make. The signature characteristics of each other’s voice. The pitch is incidental. Birds are literally just shouting at each other.

      Editing … hehe yeah. It sounds so pretty to us but when I learnt they are not actually singing I listened to them more closely and if you pay attention they are just improvising random sounds to intimidate their rivals with their slick freestyle. They are more like sound lovers than music lovers.

      Editing … I guess because birds do have a keen sense for sound. They make sounds we like. It's complex and it seems a lot like music to us. Though when a crow crows we don't call it singing either. Dogs do do the howling thing like wolves. That does sound very cool. I think we could call that a sort of singing.
