HVC is located in the caudal nidopallium.It projects to the song motor pathway via the robust nucleus of the arcopallium (RA) and to the Anterior Forebrain Pathway via the basal ganglia nucleus Area X. [1] It receives recurrent motor activity through the thalamic nucleus Uvaformis (Uva) and input from the auditory system through projections from the caudalateral mesopallium (CMM) and through ...
a male songbird's (i.e. singer's) filter contains the range of songs that it can develop; a female songbird's (i.e. receiver's) filter contains the range of songs that it finds acceptable for mate choice; In one possible situation, the population consists mainly of birds with wide filters.

Songbirds, parrots, and other species are popular as pets. Guano (bird excrement) is harvested for use as a fertiliser. Birds figure ...

One study of Anna's hummingbirds found that dietary protein was an influential factor in feather color, as birds receiving more protein grew significantly more colorful crown feathers than those fed a low-protein diet. [70] Additionally, birds on a high-protein diet grew yellower (higher hue) green tail feathers than birds on a low-protein diet ...
