* ArtisticLicenseOrnithology: As with most songbirds, only male nightingales sing. Some translations, such as Erik Haugaard's 1974 version, make the nightingale in the story male. Also, the nightingale is already an adult by the time the Emperor hears of it, spends time in the palace, then the mechanical bird lasts for a year, and then five years pass before the Emperor falls ill. It's uncommon for nightingales to live more than five years, and unheard of for them to live more than eight.
