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 ...

Towards a cultural history of the Bengalese Finch (Lonchura domestica)
Der Zoologische Garten, 2008The Bengalese finch, Lonchura domestica, first appeared in European zoos (London, Antwerp, The Hague) in the 1860s and it soon after became popular in the bird trade and among hobby aviculturalists. The species had been bred for many years in Japan before it was imported to Europe. Many theories about its background prevail in the handbooks.

Biased Learning of Sexual Signals by Female Bengalese Finches
Ornithological Science, 2020Peak shift in mate preference learning can be a driver of rapid repeated speciation. Therefore, clades that have undergone recent adaptive radiations are predicted to show biased learning of signals from the opposite sex. The estrildid finches are one such Glade.

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.
