 Finches - info and games
The acquisition by the young chaffinch of its song was the subject of an influential study by British ethologist William Thorpe.
Thorpe determined that if the chaffinch is not exposed to the adult male's song during a certain critical period after hatching, it will never properly learn the song.
He also found that in adult Chaffinches, castration eliminates song, but injection of testosterone induces such birds to sing even in November, when they are normally silent (Thorpe 1958).
