		<description><![CDATA[Talent is not inherited.  The first month in a nightingale's life determines its fate...I had always thought that a nightingale's incomparable song was instinctive or inherited.  But it is not so.  Nightingales to be used as pets are taken as fledglings from nest of wild birds in the spring.  As soon as they lose their fear and accept food, a "master bird" is borrowed that daily sings its lovely song, and the infant bird listens for a period of a about a month.  In this way the little wild bird is trained by the master bird...It is not a matter of being born a good singer or a bad singer...the life force has a wonderful power to adapt to environment. ]]></description>
