I still prefer bird songs

Perhaps birds are not the only ones to sing to attract mates. University of Queensland researchers believe male humpback whales sing to woo the lady of their choice. And while it may not attract the girls, the songs apparently do turn them on.
While he cannot say the songs attract the females, they do facilitate sex.

"Certainly there's evidence for courtship. It seems to certainly be a courtship display that facilitates mating interactions with females," he [researcher Joshua Smith] said.
"facilitates mating interactions" That's scientific speak for they get it on more often.
