> just inane bird chatter

I suspect most bird chatter is about sex, not flying.

Like when you're out in the summer evening, and the crickets are chirping and the frogs are croaking, and you realise it's just a whole bunch of males shouting "hey baby, over here!"

I got a bird feeder a little while ago. After watching them closer that I had in the past, I realized something. All that chirping going on either means "Have sex with me" or "Go away, this is mine."

All the chirping I had ever heard basically means the same thing as most of what my peers were saying in junior high.

In a lot of species the females are the one making noise, sloths and snow leopards as a couple of examples.
