I like this a lot. I've been fascinated by Suzuki Toshitakas work on mapping bird sounds to syntax and want to experiment in that space too.

Ive been assisting at a wild bird rehab but not until I got pet birds (released pet birds that no owner could be found for) did I realize they make these extremely faint sounds to each other that I can sometimes just barely make out when I'm right next to them but are not the other quiet humming they make.

My mic can capture those sounds sometimes, but I don't know how to analyze for example 24h of recording in the cage to find slight variations to background noise. It doesn't have to be real-time and not bird specific (want to capture sounds they make that doesn't register as bird in the models).

If anyone has a suggestion please point me in any direction you know of. Audio is pretty new for me.
