    Only if bird songs are regarded as Memetic rather than Neurological,
    genetic, Physical information in Nature.

    But this problem does not arise, if Nature, all, is acknowledged as Memetic,
    and Empirical experience as Memetic replication or template from reality.
    That not only are memes replicated, Memetically, but physical information
    transmits into Memetics, much as RNA and DNA interchange. But with greater
    mutation and loss.

    In other words, to remember that Memetics is only a branch of Mimetics.
    Cultural replication is only a special case of replication in general. Not
    dichotomous at all.
