Research into general linguistic and cognitive processes in humans has been aided by studies of analogous processes in animals. Studies on how birds develop their species-specific song have been of par- ticular interest to researchers seeking to identify critical variables and universals in first language acquisition in humans. Because of recent studies on exceptional song acquisition, that is, time-independent learning of second dialects or song by birds generally thought to acquire a single song during a limited sensitive period, we suggest that there also exist significant parallels between human second lan- guage acquisition and avian bilingualism. The purpose of this paper is to highlight these parallels and to demonstrate that such interspe- cies comparisons may provide new insights into the processes of second language acquisition.
