Violinist’s Practice Session Turns Into Duet When Someone Unexpected Starts Singing

As a professional violinist, it is absolutely vital that Kateryna Timokhina take the time to regularly practice her instrument. As a result, you may find her doing so in some of the most unexpected places, like her backyard. One day, Kateryna was doing just that when, out of nowhere, someone decided to join in and add their own musical touch. And just like that, Kateryna’s violin solo had turned into a duet.
This enthusiastic music lover was not a family member or even a nearby neighbor. On the contrary, they weren’t a human being at all! But don’t you worry — this unexpected visitor did not cause Kateryna any alarm. Her brief musical partner was simply a bird who was resting in a nearby tree! Experience their beautiful duet in the video below! (Click the post to watch.)
Birds are such fascinating creatures.
It’s no wonder that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service says there are about 96 million bird watchers in the United States alone! There is just so much to love about these winged creatures, including their affinity for music.
“I once heard a mockingbird start singing parts of my flute pieces! Unlocked memories,” someone shares in reply to Kateryna’s video. Other commenters add, “I’ve done the same with a flute! They do sing back,” and “[That bird] continued the melody, not just repeated.”
There are tons of birds who mimic our music, the European Goldfinch included. In fact, that is the very bird some people say turned Kateryna’s solo into the most unexpectedly beautiful duet. Do you want to see more birds admiring music? Check out how these chickens react to a woman playing guitar:
Music really is a universal language, isn’t it?
