Birds sing louder and at a higher pitch in urban areas, where there is ambient low-frequency noise. [58] [59] Traffic noise was found to decrease reproductive success in the great tit (Parus major) due to the overlap in acoustic frequency. [60] During the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced traffic noise led to birds in San Francisco singing 30% more ...
Certain words in the English language represent animal sounds: the noises and vocalizations of particular animals, especially noises used by animals for communication. The words can be used as verbs or interjections in addition to nouns , and many of them are also specifically onomatopoeic .
The yellow-fronted canary (Crithagra mozambica) is a small passerine bird in the finch family. It is sometimes known in aviculture as the green singing finch or the ‘’’green singer’’’. The yellow-fronted canary was formerly placed in the genus Serinus , but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found ...

Learned vocalizations have been identified in groups including whales, elephants, seals, and primates, however the most well-established examples of learned singing is in birds. [29] In many species, young birds learn songs from adult males of the same species, typically fathers. [30] This was first demonstrated in chaffinches (Fringilla coelabs).
The Society finch (Lonchura striata domestica), also known as the Bengali finch or Bengalese finch, is a domesticated subspecies of finch. It became a popular cage and trade bird after appearing in European zoos in the 1860s through being imported from Japan, though it was domesticated in China. Coloration and behavior were modified through ...

The archosaurian shift from larynx to syrinx must have conferred a selective advantage for crown birds, but the causes for this shift remain unknown. [10] To complicate matters, the syrinx falls into an unusual category of functional evolution: arising from ancestors with a larynx-based sound source, the syrinx contains significant functional overlap with the structure it replaced.
