Does every bird have a different song?

Question

Is it like a fingerprint, and everyone is different? Also, does a single bird have more than one song? Like the whippoowill, does it have more than one call? Any links would be helpful :D

Answer 1

No.  Every species has a different song.  There are minor differences within a species depending on location and isolation of the species.  Some species have different songs used for different reasons.

Answer 2

ya every bird has it own voice then only they can communicate with each other for any thing.

Answer 3

Most birds have more than one song. A black capped chickadee has several as does a Cardinal. Ducks probably

just make one sound (not sure about that.)

Here's a website where you click on the bird name and a

page pops up with the picture and description of the bird.

Click on the arrow to hear its sound.
