[Chris Doss]

I think the standard response to this is that birdsongs are not really music, they are just complicated territorial and mating calls that superficially resemble what humans do. (But then who knows, for all I know birds _do_ derive enjoyment from hearing each other's songs in a musical way. Only a bird could tell you!)
