How long before AI can 'understand' animals?

The Regent Honeyeaters of Australasia are forgetting how to talk. The songbird's habitat has been so severely devastated that its numbers are dwindling. Worse, the ones that remain are so scattered that the adult males are too far apart to teach the young how to sing for a mate -- how to speak their own language. The gradual loss of the Honeyeaters' song, their primary tool for wooing a partner, creates a vicious circle of spiraling decline. Humans, on the other hand, cannot shut up.
