	Bird song - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bird songs are certain vocal sounds that birds make—in non-technical use, those sounds that are melodious to the human ear.
		Models of bird song motor learning are sometimes used as a model for how humans learn speech, and indeed they share many similarities, such as requiring teachers, practice, error-correction, and eventually becoming more difficult to learn after the bird or human reaches sexual maturity.
		Bird song is often imitated in music, especially song or whistling.

	Syntactic Structure in House Finch Song
		However, Smith's models were inferred not from the songs of individual birds, but from the songs of all the birds in the local population in a given year, so it is not clear that these models are intended to describe anything other than the overall structure of the local dialect.
		Beginning with the first pair of songs in the session, pairwise alignments were computed using the Needleman-Wunsch global alignment algorithm [3] between each successive song and the overall consensus sequence of the foregoing alignments, with individual syllables being treated as residues for the purpose of alignment.
		Because of the manner in which breaks were inferred, songs could be unambiguously recoded as sequences of states, based on the positions of their constituent symbols in the multiple alignment relative to the breaks.

	Bird Song

	Bird communication
		Song complexity and the avian immune system -- There are three hypotheses to explain how the evolution of parasite virulence could be linked to the evolution of secondary sexual traits, such as bird song.
		Those birds who did invent more song elements also tended not to copy well those elements they did copy, and (2) how close the males had come to actually matching just the wild-bird song elements they were attempting to copy.
		To determine the effects of song quality, the researchers exposed wild-caught adult females to the captive-reared males' songs and measured female response to the songs, including shivering of the wings, lifting of the tail and a characteristic call.

		Bird song has been studied extensively in the past few decades, so that there is now hardly an area of animal behaviour on to which studies of song do not shed light.
		This book explores the study of bird song from the biological viewpoint, reviewing the literature written on the subject and considering its intricate nature.
		It is written with a wide readership in mind so that, while undergraduate and postgraduate students of biology may gain particularly from it, both professional biologists interested in bird behaviour and amateur ornithologists with some knowledge of biology will also find it a mine of information.

		A CD of the bird songs discussed is included, as are descriptions of the recording equipment Kroodsma used and explanations on how to make similar recordings and "sonagrams." Kroodsma is a warm, encouraging guide to the world of birdsong, and his enthusiasm is contagious.
		Birdsongs are learned rather than instinctual (the brown thrasher has a repertoire of 2,ooo songs), and Stap delves into the complex processes by which birds acquire them, the individual idiosyncrasies and regional dialects that color them, and the mating behaviors and territorial antagonisms they regulate.

		Here are two lists of mnemonics and other descriptions that can be used as an aid to remembering and identifying birds in the field by their songs and calls.
