Spatiotemporal properties of visual stimuli for song induction in Bengalese finches
NeuroReport, 2005Male Bengalese finches sing directed songs in response to video images of females projected onto a thin-film transistor monitor. We used this experimental paradigm to elucidate which properties of visual stimuli are important for eliciting singing. When video recordings of female Bengalese or zebra finches were used as visual stimuli, only images of ...

Effects of background noise on acoustic characteristics of Bengalese finch songs
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016Online regulation of vocalization in response to auditory feedback is one of the essential issues for vocal communication. One such audio-vocal interaction is the Lombard effect, an involuntary increase in vocal amplitude in response to the presence of background noise.

The Bengalese Finch: A Window on the Behavioral Neurobiology of Birdsong Syntax
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004Abstract:The Bengalese finchLonchura striatavar.domesticais a domesticated strain of a wild species, the white‐rumped muniaLonchura striataof Southeast Asia. Bengalese finches have been domesticated in Japan for 240 years. Comparing their song syntax with that of their wild ancestors, we found that the domesticated strain has highly complex ...

The stimulus to egg‐laying in the Bengalese finch
Journal of Zoology, 1969The effects of mate and nesting facilities on the occurrence of egg‐laying were examined in the Bengalese finch.Egg‐laying is unusual in isolated females and those kept in large groups. It is more common in monosexual pairs, and its incidence in them is not markedly altered by whether males can be heard or not. Females in heterosexual pairs usually lay

A Quantitative Study of Parental Behaviour in the Bengalese Finch
Behaviour, 1963This is a detailed account of the behaviour of Bengalese Finches during the period when young are in the nest. In addition to providing as complete a description of the behaviour as possible, the data are examined in order to obtain some understanding of the organisation of the behaviour both on the level of the individual and on that of the family ...

Syllable chunking in Bengalese finches in a multi-tutor environment
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2006Experiments in birdsong learning have traditionally involved one tutor, usually the father, and the proportion and accuracy of note copying are discussed as indexes of song learning. But in the wild, there are several conspecific males around song-learning pupils.

The Effect of Hormone Treatment Upon the Duration of Incubation in the Bengalese Finch
Behaviour, 1969AbstractNormal incubation behaviour, in particular its onset and termination, is discussed. The effects of treatment with prolactin, progesterone and oestrogen during the middle part of the incubation period are then described. While progesterone may interrupt incubation, oestrogen treatment tends to prolong this behaviour beyond the normal time of ...

Context-Dependent Call Variation in the Male Bengalese Finch
2013The Bengalese finches live in group and emit several types of calls (such as alarm, distance, distress, begging, and courtship calls). These calls are frequently observed, and these may have an important role in social interactions. This study was performed to elucidate in detail the functions of calls of Bengalese finches.
