To clarify: I’m not suggesting animals think all sounds are songs—just that songbirds and humans are the only common animals that combine sounds into arbitrary sequences where each individual sound doesn’t have a single fixed meaning.

Oh, birds are mostly screaming at each other in their equivalent of Italian. They’d do rude gestures - but no hands.
Why songbirds and not other vocal mammals like squirrels? Do you think they know that some bird calls sound annoying as shit? Do you think animals cannot differentiate other animals apart and just assume anything that makes noise is a “songbird”?
Go back in the shower, this one needs more time to cook.
Have you heard dogs?
