Dear Andy
What you report is what struck me when I first came
to Australia in 1983 and heard Blackbirds singing in the Sydney Botanic Gdns -
their songs commenced in typical UK Blackbird form, and then went "all wrong" -
so I guessed that with few Blackbirds around to copy from, they were trying out
alternatives and taking on the Oz accent.
