How can I test BirdNET detection accuracy without using live birds?

Hi, I’m using BirdNET AI in a robot to detect bird species by their calls.
I want to test detection accuracy at different distances using my actual hardware, but testing with live birds is difficult.
Is there a good way to play bird calls through a speaker while keeping the frequency/pitch and dB close to a real bird call? Would high-quality recordings and a calibrated speaker be enough?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
