Birds and humans look different, sound different and evolved completely different organs for voice production. But now new research published in Nature Communications reveals that humans and birds use the exact same physical mechanism to make their vocal cords move and thus produce sound.
“Science has known for over 60 years that this mechanism – called the myoelastic-aerodynamic theory, or in short the MEAD mechanism- drives speech and singing in humans. We have now shown that birds use the exact same mechanism to make vocalizations. MEAD might even turn out to be a widespread mechanism in all land-dwelling vertebrates”, says lead author of the paper, Associate Professor Dr. Coen Elemans, Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark.

there is your answer
Birds have a ring of cartilage, called syrinx, in their wind pipe. They use it (instead of the vocal chords) in their voice box to produce their characteristics sounds. This characteristic sound is a jarring, or unpleasant one, in case of birds like the crow, but it is a pleasant and soothing one in case of birds like the koel, parrot and mynah.)
