This is a strange and limiting definition of music, and rather unfair to the birds.
Jokingly, when I sing, it is also hard to tie the sounds coming out of my mouth to particular notes....
seriously, there are birds who sing in a choir/band; the lead singer is the only one who gets laid, his friends "only" help him to sound his best and to give social support to his efforts to impress. Point is a very dedicated effort for a group of animals to coordinate soundmaking as a form of social communication to arouse emotion and bonding. How is this not music?
I've seen people write code in languages that don't even have types, like most computer languages do. Obviously they are not programming. That's right, hard-coding in assembler or even strict binary/hex is as far from programming as you can get!
I suppose it's a bit like the question of whether non-human animals have "language": they do, in a sense, but it's rather different from human language.
