The amazing Lyre Bird is an ancient Australian bird that mimics other species calls as it’s own mating calls.
As you can see, it’s astonishing ability to mimic sounds is a strange form of evolution that has affected these birds. I find it very curious that an animal needs to copy another species to mate with their own species. Some effects on these birds and the natural world that was caused by growing civilization would be the other more humanistic sounds the birds make. Sounds such as car alarms, man-made instruments, and the human voice are just a few examples.
