Yes, very nice! Fluent vocal production is motorically complex and requires predictive/pre-conscious loading of motor transformations. What better brain region for that than cerebellum? We've been looking at it in cetaceans... journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
Lateralized cerebellar connectivity differentiates auditory pathways in echolocating and non-echolocating whales
We report the first application of diffusion tractography to a mysticete, which was analyzed alongside three odontocete brains, allowing the first direct comparison of strength and laterality of audit...

Yes definitely thank you! Will boost you later! (Need to think of something smart to say that you didn't say already first 😁)

1/7 Vocal mimicry, robots, and music
The ability to mimic sounds could be extremely common among corvids. Here, it has been found in 39 species (30%), but it is predicted that it could be present in around 82% of them.
