Advances in Understanding the Auditory Brain of Songbirds
TL;DR: Songbirds, like humans, have the ability to memorize and learn auditory input in order to shape their own vocalization, implying that the songbird brain, not unlike the human brain, is built to process and discriminate complex sounds.

Effects of enriched auditory experience on infants’ speech perception during the first year of life
TL;DR: This article showed that a 1-month laboratory music intervention focusing on rhythm learning enhanced 9-month-old infants' neural processing not only for music but also for speech, and these results suggest that these enriched auditory experiences in infancy may improve infants' general auditory pattern-detection skills and their sensitivity to phonetic information.

Biological Foundations of Language
TL;DR: The coming of language occurs at about the same age in every healthy child throughout the world as mentioned in this paper, strongly supporting the concept that genetically determined processes of maturation, rather than env...

Ontogeny of bird song.
TL;DR: The characteristics of its innervation, musculature, membranes and resonators, and its functioning must incorporate the prior' ity of respiratory needs, so a study of vocal development involves control over only a small number of variables.
