  It's different but it reminds me of the lonely song of one of the last known Kauaʻi ʻōʻō, sad but beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDRY0CmcYNU

    I like this one too. An earlier one of the original recordings[1] seem to feature 2 birds, if you want to know what that sounds like. Though I do like the cleaned-up version you linked with reverb added that gives it a mournful sound.

    From 1986 (the last recording, 1 bird): https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/228099

  I wonder how much noise pollution is partly causing the lost songs. It is known to hinder finding mates.

    I wonder if you could exfiltrate some weights, and gt them to do inference.

  What! Do not teach them the old ways! Thousands of years of dark magic cursing our ancestors as we wallowed in pestilence!
