Like me! Although, we don’t know why birds sing exactly – for all we know they’re the tweety equivalent of an IT help desk.
LOL! Actually, I believe science has established why birds sing pretty well – mostly to attract mates and to claim territory. That’s not the point of the anthropomorphizing of birds answering / singing, though. At least not as I understand it in “proverbial wisdom” of a Kung-Fu master. One does not practice Kung-Fu to learn to defend one’s self. One practices to learn to master one’s self. That the latter will lead to the former is merely a side benefit.
I guess depending on your experiences with IT help desks, the song could be could be melodic (helpful) or screeching (cluelessly frustrating).
…Or I could just be reading too much / too little into your comment! Stop me if this is leading to a fart joke…
