Female Bird Song

Both female and male songbirds sing, but female song is relatively ignored. Help us document female bird songs through this NSF and EU H2020 funded project!

Female songbirds sing, but they're under-represented in collections! Visit: https://t.co/qHVe4yWq7t

A new book that looks to be right up our alley! https://t.co/qwyBlJzOJY

Lots of great papers about female bird song came out in 2024. Here’s just one example https://t.co/iZspQSrEQh

How have we studied female bird song? Does female song function the same way as male song? Sometimes. . .

Congratulations to Cristina Barros for summarizing the literature on this topic with @UrbanBirdNerd

A true privilege to be a part of this new paper led by
@BirdLabFlinders accepted in @ASNAmNat
- "Nestling begging calls resemble maternal vocal signatures when mothers call slowly to embryos" . Congratulations all! #femalesong #fairywrens #femalebirdvocalisations

Interested in a Master's studying birdsong?
Lab alumna Karan Odom is a #NewPI at University of the Pacific. She's seeking Master's students to study hormonal & genetic regulation of female song and sexual dimorphism in song. Details: https://t.co/DoKnZdgN8I

Karan Odom’s lab at University of the Pacific is seeking Master's students interested in studying the hormonal and genetic regulation of female song and evolutionary drivers of sexual dimorphism in birdsong. See https://t.co/ehdlPbndYo for more information!

Study of song complexity and neural circuits in house wrens, comparing male and female song

Found a relation b/t anatomical measures and song complexity in females but not males

Who’s ready to share female birds for #FemaleBirdDay?? All weekend 5/26-29 we are celebrating with the #Galbatross crew Brooke Bateman, Purbita Saha, @marthaharbison, & @joannaxwu! Remember to use the hashtag and post your female bird sightings this weekend!

“Outside of the breeding season, males produced the most solos, while females produced more at the beginning of the breeding season.”

Next #Parrot result. . . this one is a puzzle. Why did we have so many extra males in the data-set? Perhaps because they were actually females. These graphs are telling.

Our takeaway: When a parrot's sex is uncertain, people tend to assume it's male.

[Lauryn Benedict @LaurynBenedict]

Our article on #Parrot vocal mimicry is out today in @SciReports! We'll celebrate by summarizing results each day this week.

To begin. . . what species learns the most human sounds? Grey Parrot, of course.

#lyrebirds are the best, but fairy wrens are pretty cool too! Bonnie and Clyde live in our apple tree and Bonnie is quite the songstress - and feisty to boot! A lovely example of female song @femalebirdsong @FairywrenProj 😊

@animal_prattle Right back at you @animal_prattle!

“Our results suggest that these two aspects of female behavior, acoustic complexity and vocal coordination with males, have evolved independently and have different functions in communication.”

“The consequence of deforestation resulting in pushing back territories to the forest remnants along streams may be a shortening of the song’s active range, in particular, in females.”
