If a bird has no tutor, it sings a song that’s unrecognizable or only a poor rendition. Baby birds raised without any exposure to a tutor song sing abnormally, usually a very stunted, simplified version of the species song. This is true for humans, too. Children with normal hearing who are raised without any exposure to human speech utter abnormal vocalizations.
