Bird vocalization includes both bird calls and bird songs. In non-technical use, bird songs (often simply birdsong ) are the bird sounds that are melodious to the human ear. In ornithology and birding , songs (relatively complex vocalizations) are distinguished by function from calls (relatively simple vocalizations).
Such auditory feedback is known to maintain the production of vocalization since deafness affects the vocal acoustics of both humans [17] and songbirds [18] Changing the auditory feedback also changes vocalization in human speech [19] or bird song. [20] Neural circuits have been found in the brainstem that enable such reflex adjustment. [21]
Birds are capable of producing continuous song during both inhalation and exhalation, and may sing continuously for several minutes. [11] For example, the skylark (Alauda arvensis) is capable of producing non-stop song for up to one hour. [12] Some birds change their song characteristics during inhalation versus exhalation.
