Internet Discovers The Existence Of Mozart's Pet Starling Who Could Sing His Songs, And People Want To Give Him Credit For Giving Us Such Classical Bops

by Sophia

Music has always been inspired by and even originated from nature itself. We usually hear beautiful melodies and tunes from the animals living in our forests and even underwater (they surely do make music, see Sebastian from Ariel and his orchestra for an example)!

We take inspiration from the buzzing bees for our techno tunes, the howls of wolves for voicings, and a whole lot more natural sounds inspired by the music that we have now. It’s such an amazing world we have we just gotta know how to use them wisely.

Interestingly enough, many famous composers and musicians have also used this nature-inspired technique to come up with their pieces. Not only do you make money and music, but it is also one way to appreciate the world we live in, not to mention it’s organic!

And did you know that one of the most famous composers of all time, classical music composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (his name is so cool every time you hear it!!) famously known as Mozart, also wrote a piece inspired by a starling bird? Who knew someone could actually create one complete musical composition– and a classical piece-from just by hearing a song from a bird?

Imagine the notes, staff, and a whole lot of musical ingredients happening in that piece. Now, this is what you call a musical genius!

This is what a starling bird (European Starling or Sturnus vulgaris) looks like. It is a noisy bird and has the ability to mimic.

The starling bird did give Mozart a big break in the music industry. Now we are celebrating music because of this bird, it truly deserves a funeral.

Starling birds are known for their noisiness, though. Would not blame the 200 million people in America, Mozart just heard a song rather than a noise.

We can draw inspiration from anything that creates a sound. But Mozart’s starling bird wasn’t just an ordinary bird, it was a concerto-singing bird, also, Mozart really took in THAT bird.

From a song he heard from a bird, he composed a beautiful, organic, and innovative musical piece. This is the story of the bird that inspired Mozart.

What do you think of this amazing fact? Do you have anything more to share?
