Somebody once tried playing Messiaen's versions of birdsong back to the birds and it seems they never recognized it. (Birds can't transpose and the timbre probably matters).

Maaori music had a much deeper involvement with birdsong than anything in the developed world. Because the pre-European-invasion ecosystem was totally dominated by birds, with no native mammals except for bats, birdsong was everywhere at a volume and variety humans have never experienced anywhere else. The Maaori developed instruments that closely mimicked every bird they could, using an extraordinary variety of techniques - but there was no real distinction between a musical instrument and a lure; if you could get a bird's song accurate enough, it might help you catch it as well as praise it. And any musical performance was of necessity a concerto accompanied by a bird orchestra.

Look up "taonga puoro" to see some of the instruments they came up with.
