Avian music

Avian music tends to emphasize harmony, rhythm and timbre much more than melody, which most uplifted passerine birds (except parrots and crows?) consider a part of language instead. Much of avian music is based on chord-scale theory; in songs, lyrics are spoken in the chord-scale the music is currently in with the tones (most passerine languages in Méich Bhaonnáiqh are tonal and some even require producing two notes at once). Both harmonic and inharmonic timbres may be used.

In Méich Bhaonnáiqh, primodality is invented by a bird uplift; birds use primodality to impart colors to chord-scales and sung dyad phonemes. There is also a bird culture that uses soundscapes made by non-ji/inharmonic/pseudo-JI chords.
