So the theory is that a bird’s genes guide development of brain circuits that relate to singing and the ability to learn songs.Then, exposure to songs shapes those neural circuits to produce the songs that are typical to that species.Genetically encoded or innate behaviors aren’t unique to songbirds.They’re widespread in the animal kingdom. Spectacular examples include the long-distance migrations of monarch butterflies and salmon.
