The two then use Songbird's strength to destroy the rest of the statue on Monument Island, thus destroying the Siphon and unlocking Elizabeth's true power. This then enables her and Booker to use Songbird to fight off the Vox Populi, who are invading the airship. Towards the end of the game Elizabeth breaks open one of these statues and acquires the instrument needed to control the massive creature. At certain points in the story these statues will light up and play the tune needed to attract the Songbird, often with dire consequences for Booker and Elizabeth.

Fink alludes to Big Daddies when he describes his idea of Songbird as: Voxophones and blue prints found in Fink Factory suggest Fink created Songbird after seeing designs of Big Daddies through tears. In fact, she tries to convince Booker that if it comes to it, better he kill her than let Songbird take her back to her prison. Elizabeth knows any promise to destroy Songbird can't be fulfilled.
