No Tutor of Song (The Regent Honeyeater)

An endangered species, a bird, very rare.
Only 300 or so left in the world out there.
It means the young have no tutor of song.
As older males aren't around to singalong.

They learn their song from an older male.
But the search for elders is doomed to fail.
Now resulting in weird songs being heard.
Songs they learn from other breeds of bird.

They now do this, once leaving their nest.
And the female birds are left unimpressed!
This is so sad, against natures cultural trait.
Without his love song, it'll be hard to mate.
