Given we are discussing a distinctly Western Music genre, what do birds sing in Japan?
Seems we still need to see those flatted fifths, ninth's, eleventh's, etc as sourced from somewhere other than a PHD student's dissertation.

I dont know about Japan. I live in Thailand. I know Cuckoo sings minor third down and actually that is the most common first musical interval babies sing naturally at first without any teaching. It is also the easiest interval for children to sing.
Edit: But to make things clear minor third down doesn't mean minor tonality. It is the fifth to third in major triad.
