I don't know but if you want to communicate with birds it may help to immitate their vocalization structure. "Speech to birdsong conversion" http://www.windytan.com/2021/03/speech-to-birdsong-conversio...

It is my understanding that passeriforme communication relies on more than structure. Recurring "forms" or patterns have been observed and recording+playback attempted. From what I recall a phenomenon that could be described as a "local accent" (modulation of forms or mutation of patterns specific to a region) seemed essential to generate interest from the studied population.
