Oxford University researchers used AI models to analyse the repertoires of birds.

They found birds of a similar age tend to sing a similar selection of songs.

Birds of a more advanced age tended to belt out older songs that were less common among the population as a whole similar to how older people might hum more traditional tunes.

Researchers used physical tracking as well as artificial intelligence to match recorded songs to individual male great tits.
