They always do, and I wonder what we can learn from that.
Do they chirp because of the need for communication with a purpose, or just their natural reflex, a kind of tick that they need to make unwillingly?
Why is that important? I hear you ask.
If it is for purposeful communication, my first question would be, how is that different from how humans communicate?
Do they follow the exact communication mechanism as we do?
Meaning; what we want to say in reality is different than how we say it most of the time and how others hear us with their solid perspective and perception rather than being neutral to understand what we say before they react or respond accordingly.
So, do they also suffer from this natural imperfection that we all humans possess?
If that’s the case, so how do they handle it? How do they manage the tension in their communications? Do they also have an operating belief system, then? How does that system work?
If that’s not the case, is this natural reflex that surfaces unwillingly that causes others to understand the state of the initiator and react or respond to it accordingly?
Meaning; a specific sound tone might mean, “I am ready to mate,” and the follower responds.
Is that the case?
If yes, then how did they learn that in the first place? How is that specific sound being conditioned to another bird with the same meaning known to both?
Since a form of consciousness is required to judge things, how does the follower decide, “Aha, this is the thing I need when I want to breed”?
And how does that spread amongst other types of birds and become universal?
Science has much to say about this topic, and I am in no position to approve or disapprove any of the stated theories and all other works of people who devoted their lives to investigating, learning, and documenting all the “whys and hows.”
I am just curious to learn and want to apply what I know to my life.
Why, I hear you ask?
If there is anything new that I would learn to overcome my voids and problems, it’s worth trying everything and anything that might come on my way.
As long as the purpose is to know what we don’t know and later learn to use it to level up in life, is there anything we cannot learn from?
