I think back to the olden computer days at the dawn of pc's the metallic/computer voice have to do with the ability of mixing noise into the sound. So pure frequencies will give you tones/whistles, but mixing noise into it, you can create 'voices'. That's how the primitive sound chips did it, and I think the birds do a variation of it. :-)

I love starlings. Right now I have a "pet" crow (in Wisconsin). Found him on the road on May 13, 2022. He was so little and helpless. Had to teach him to eat on his own, but sure didn't need to teach him to fly! Now he lives outside (it's been 5 and half weeks. He was here all day yesterday. We played fetch, and played get the food from under the plastic containers. He's so smart. Haven't seen him at all today. He's hanging with other crows. They adopt any other crow they find, from what I've read. I love this bird, and if he eventually never returns, I'll be happy that I was able to return him to the wild. But still I hope he keeps visiting. It's so much fun.
