Music is typically considered a solely human activity. We may think that bird and animal songs sometimes sound as if they were musical, and may use them in our own music, but at least in the Western world, they are usually assumed to be purely functional calls to satisfy the animal's biological needs, such as attracting a mate or defending territory, and nothing more. They are seldom thought of as the subjectively created aesthetic sounds that we consider our own music to be. Yet in recent years, science has been discovering that animals share more of our mental capabilities, awareness of both self and the world, and emotional depth than previously thought. Former gold standards of human uniqueness, such as speech and tool use, are being found not to be limited to our species at all. Is it possible that some animals may also share our ability to create and experience aesthetic sound?

I attempt to answer this question by drawing on tools and knowledge from a variety of fields, including philosophy, semiotics, ornithology, bioacoustics, cognitive ethology, and ethnomusicology. I focus on exploring what I perceive to be very real similarities of structure, function, sound, and meaning between certain animal and human songs, referring frequently to sound examples from a variety of avian and mammalian species and from a diversity of human musics. It would of course be impossible to prove absolutely that some animals create music, since we can not communicate with them about their experience of sound, but I believe that more evidence suggests a similarity than a dissimilarity between their songs and our own. In the course of this work, my understanding of music came to change substantial. I end by describing my new understanding of music, and by addressing some of what I think might be the implications, both musical and philosophical, of including within its compass some animal songs.
