For those who are not biologist or never taken Ornithology (study of birds) this video is really amazon on how complex birds vocalization are.  They can do thing beyond what humans can do.  I would suggest go to 1:30:00.

When I first saw the video about a year ago I assumed it was a fake comedy video, however, after reading up on it I was amazed that this is true. Those birds are incredible.

Yea, this is true.  Birds have a incredible vocalization system.  It quit amazing how rapid the muscles fluctuate to do such sound, something that humans can not do.
