    One thing I have wanted to try is using a digital sampling
    keyboard (like Herbie Hancock uses) to sample bird calls and
    then play them back.  I know you get interesting results
    just playing a tape recording of the bird.  But it would
    be great to be able to choose a portion of a call or a specific
    call for a specific situation.  Check out the STOKES Bird
    behavior books for some listings of calls and behaviors.  As
    for actual call waveforms I have no idea where to look.
