Discover how canaries can learn and copy songs from other birds and even music. A fun and simple explanation perfect for kids aged 8.
Canaries are small, colorful birds that are really great at singing. Just like how you might learn a new song by listening to it, canaries can listen carefully to sounds around them and copy those sounds.
This means canaries can hear songs from other birds and even music that people play, and they try to sing those songs too! They are very good at remembering the sounds and can practice until their singing sounds very close to the original.
This is because canaries have a special part in their brain that helps them learn sounds, similar to how humans learn languages and music. So, when you hear a canary singing, sometimes it's a mix of their own song and the songs they've learned from others!
