      it’s just like a straight recording in their brain played back through their vocal organ called a syrinx, located at the base of the trachea. Because it is located where the trachea forks into the bronchii that lead to the lungs, birds can produce more than one sound at the same time - one sound in each of the two bronchii. They’re much like a very complex multi stage digital synthesiser with a perfect reference to create their sound with. The way they use the natural ambience within all that is just astonishing.

      @@aleksitjvladica. I presume it is to many of today's genration who have never used a film still camera. If you are one of them, I'll explain: such cameras used a strip of (usually 35mm wide) film on which to expose the images. When you have exposed one, it has to be moved sideways so that the next section of the strip is in position to be exposed; this is normally achieved by pushing a lever which turns the take-up spool and turns a cog with sprockets to advance thie film by a fixed amount (such as 36mm). It is usually combined with also cocking the shutter mechanism (that which exposes the film when you take a picture; if you think about it the film has to be kept in the dark until then). On some sophisticated cameras, the process was motorised, so you only pressed the shutter release button, which fired the shutter mechanism (making the clicking sound) and then wound on the film [and cocked the shutter ready for the next picture as well] (making the whirring sound). It wasn't just laziness - a camera with motor-drive could take several stills in succession faster than one on which you had to press, wind, press, wind, and also it was less likely to change the aim of the camera if you only had to touch one control (some did so automatically, or could be configured to do so, if you just held your finger on the shutter release button). Then as now, it's sometimes worth taking several pictures in quick succession in order to get the one you want - e. g. an animal or sports-car moving fast, a celebrity who might only glance your way briefly, and so on. Generaly only by professionals and serious photographers: for the rest of us, not only were motor-drive cameras more expensive, but the cost of the film wasn't insignificant, and you couldn't immediately review and discard the failures - film can't be deleted and re-used!
