TED-Ed How do birds learn to sing? - Partha P. Mitra
Isolated finches still produce what are called innate or isolate songs. A specific tune might be taught, but the instinct to sing seems to be hardwired into a songbird’s brain. Innate songs sound different from the “cultured” songs learned from other finches—at first.
