Otoacoustic emissions in a song bird
Hearing Research, 1987Synchronously evoked otoacoustic emissions (SEOAEs) were found in about two thirds (61%) of 56 ears of the starling Sturnus vulgaris. They appeared with rather broad synchronization widths (about 200 Hz) and predominantly at frequencies in the upper half of the hearing range of this bird.

Almost half of the world’s birds are song birds, so called because most of them, by means of an advanced type of syrinx, can produce pure musical notes strung together into highly specific patterns and are thus said to sing. Most small woodland, grassland and suburban birds, outside South America, are song birds and only a few families, such as the ...

Lovely Perspectives on music in animals, those by P. M. Gray et al. and M. J. Tramo (5 Jan., p. [52][1] and p. [54][2]), but neither mentioned the composer Olivier Messiaen, who recorded bird songs all over the world and transformed them into heavenly music.

The cultural transmission of bird song
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1986Songbirds learn the songs that they sing from other individuals, but the learning is not always accurate. This leads to dialects and to changes with time in the songs found in one place. Are these phenomena functional or are they simply byproducts of vocal learning which has evolved for quite different reasons?

From Bird Song to Neurogenesis
Scientific American, 1989One of the dogmas of neurobiology has it that when nerve cells in the vertebrate brain die, they are not replaced by new ones. The author finds to the contrary. He has shown that when the adult canary needs to learn new songs, it does grow some new neurons. The finding could eventually lead to the discovery of ways to repair lesions in the human brain.
