Zoological Science, 2020
Kawai et al. (2011) recently introduced a mixture of three anesthetic agents (here called MMB) that has an effect similar to ketamine/xylazine in mice, which might allow more effective reaction to changes in the animal condition, as an antagonist is available, and which can be used without license for handling narcotic drugs.

Song discrimination in female zebra finches and bengalese finches
Animal Behaviour, 1989Etude du chant lors du comportement de cour chez Taeniophylia guttata et Lonchura striata. L'hypothese selon laquelle la femelle utilise le chant du mâle pour reconnaitre l'espece de celui-ci est testee ainsi que celle selon laquelle la femelle choisi le mâle ayant des phrases de chant plus longues et plus ...

ALFAXALONE ANESTHESIA IN THE BENGALESE FINCH (LONCHURA DOMESTICA)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2017The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of alfaxalone in a small passerine species. A dose-response trial was conducted whereby 10, 30, and 50 mg/kg alfaxalone was administered subcutaneously (SC) to 10 Bengalese finches ( Lonchura domestica) in a randomized complete crossover study design.

Nest Building in the Bengalese Finch
Behaviour, 1970AbstractAttempts to induce carrying of nest material in isolated male Bengalese finches by injecting testosterone, oestrogen, progesterone or prolactin were ineffective. Neither prolactin nor progesterone in the doses used appeared to affect incubation behaviour. There was a suggestion that prolactin depressed song numbers.

Social Facilitation in the Bengalese Finch
Behaviour, 1974AbstractObservations of paired male Bengalese finches showed that preening, feeding, beak-wiping, and drinking behaviour tended to be synchronised. There was also a strong tendency for one individual to sing whenever its companion began to feed. No synchrony of singing was found.

External stimuli and readiness to incubate in the bengalese finch
Animal Behaviour, 1967Abstract 1. (1) Pairs of Bengalese finches were tested for incubation by placing artificial eggs in their nest boxes before laying. The effects of varying degrees of deprivation of nest material were noted. 2. (2) Readiness to incubate is present in both sexes before egg-laying, but earlier in males than in females.

Song Learning in Bengalese Finches: a Comparison with Zebra Finches
Ethology, 1987AbstractMale Bengalese finches, Lonchura striata var. domestica, learn their song from an adult male conspecific with whom they can interact at 35 to 70 days of age and normally‐raised males fail to reproduce song which they have only heard before or after this time.

Context-dependent song amplitude control in Bengalese finches
NeuroReport, 2003Estrildid finches have two song types: directed (courtship) and undirected (solo). These are acoustically identical and differ only in social context. Recent studies have shown that undirected singing is accompanied by strong activation of the basal ganglia pathway, whereas directed singing is not, which suggests a different degree of feedback control ...

Population coding of song element sequence in the Bengalese finch HVC
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2008AbstractBirdsong is a complex vocalization composed of various song elements organized according to sequential rules. Two alternative views exist that explain the neural representation of song element sequences in the songbird brain. The finding of sequential selective neurons supports the idea that the song element sequence is encoded in a chain of ...

Song syntax changes in Bengalese finches singing in a helium atmosphere
NeuroReport, 2003Male Bengalese finches rely heavily on hearing to maintain adult songs and deafening a bird changes its song syntax immediately. Eight adult male Bengalese finches were placed in a helium atmosphere, which changes the resonance of the vocal tract. Undirected songs were recorded before, during and after this procedure, and the changes in song structure ...
