Every bird in the world makes some kind of sound. But in order to develop a proper song, explains Nat Wheelwright, some of them need to listen to adults and then practice what they hear, in the same way children learn to speak.
Nature Moments are produced by Nat Wheelwright and Wilder Nicholson, with help from Genie Wheelwright, Paul Benham, Tom Porter, and Rebecca Goldfine.
