Perfect Bird Harmony
Joy to the world! Well, some people have perfect pitch. I certainly don't. As a matter of fact, there is only one human being in ten thousand that has what is called perfect pitch.
They can every single time repeat the perfect G minor, if that's the note they're looking for, or C major, or whatever note, and they will know it as soon as they hear it. One in ten thousand. But there's someone else who does it every single time, and that's a songbird.
A songbird, if they're going to sing a G minor today, they'll sing the exact same note, the exact same volume the next day, and the next, and the next. Not only that, but birds have perfect rhythm, melody, and harmony. Certain birds will sing a note to a bird, and another bird will sing exactly the same note back, even when it was singing in a different note.
Other birds, one will sing the harmony, another will sing the melody, and they'll intertwine their music among themselves. As a matter of fact, around the world, as the sun comes up, birds start singing in perfect melody, harmony, and blending their voices together to sing in the joy of the next new day. You see, God made an animal with perfect pitch.
As a matter of fact, it is the songs of birds that inspired both Mozart and Beethoven to compose entire symphonies based upon the songs of birds. You see, these things don't happen by random chance. I mean, why shouldn't birds sing in total disharmony or discord, not even hitting exact notes, but flat notes and random notes? Why should they sing in such perfection and such beauty? Because they reflect the order and the perfection and the majesty and the beauty of the one who made them.
Birds, their very song and their very abilities are not random because they aren't the result of random processes of evolution. They're the result of the design by a creator God who is the author and the perfecter of all beauty, whether it's musical or whether it's artistic. (Sep 7, 2026)
If you listen closely, you will realize that birds are extremely skillful musicians. When birds sing, you can hear melody, harmony, and rhythm.
Many birds sing in "absolute pitch", that is, if they sing a song in G major today, the same song will be sung in EXACTLY the G major pitch all other days. There is also evidence that birds can transpose songs from one key to another. Male blackbirds have been observed to sing in matched counter-singing, i.e. each blackbird takes turns singing a tune back to other birds. Some birds even sing a variation on a theme. When human musicians attempt a matching counter-singing, it requires planning, talent, practice, and design.
Some birds sing duets; the African robin performs its duet antiphonally (where 2 birds sing alternate notes in a song). To execute this type of duet requires split second timing! When you hear a bird singing, notice that the songs contain consonsant intervals, which produce a pleasant sound, rather than dissonant intervals.
Hermit Thrushes have been found to sing the pentatonic scales. Other birds can sing two notes at the same time because of the position of their voice boxes.
Both Mozart and Beethoven recognized birds' musical abilities and borrowed bird songs as inspiration for their music.
Bird songs show evidence of structure and beauty. If evolution was true and songs evolved by accident or chance, then at least half the songs should be grating, irritating, and nonsensical. We do not hear that! The worldwide morning song of birds is known as the "Dawn Chorus"- welcoming in a new day. When we hear beautiful music, we know it has been composed and that there must be a composer and inspired by Design by the great almighty God..
