I’m not sure if there was an original article or merely a quiz. Here’s the Wiki on Brent Berlin, the anthropologist who invented the quiz. There are links in the notes at the bottom:

I got 10 for 10 too. Cool. I spent very little time on each. Just went with my hunch each time. I definitely went by sound/call/song possibilties.

I tried it and also got 9 out of 10. It’s probably because the names of birds often sound like their calls, and we can recognize that in the name.

Wow! I got a 10 out of 10, and I certainly have never been exposed to this language! COOL
