For most birds the production of calls and simple songs is largely innate, but a subgroup of birds known as the vocal learners, which includes the parrots, hummingbirds and oscine songbirds, are endowed with a specialized network of brain nuclei that constitute a "song system" allowing them to produce broad repertoires of songs that are more complex and flexible than the songs of other birds [12].

This task often constitutes a much more involved problem, especially when the songs of the species under consideration have a complex structure.
