Mozart's starling
"We hypothesize," said West, "that birds such as starlings use acoustic probes to test the animate properties of their environment. Much as bats or dolphins use echo-location to estimate distance, starlings use social sonar comprised of echoed sounds produced to judge behavioral reverberations."

If you liked this article, you will love The Ape and The Sushi Master by Frans De Waal. Everyone who has a pet knows that animals have culture, teach things to their young, language but De Waal explores all the recent scientific studies that are finally starting to understand (after the Enlightenment, and Christian-Judeo belief that humans are superior to other animals) that animals are people too!
