We still know a little about the sound birds make or the songs that they sing. Though the songs of the birds have entertained humans since the times immemorial, we know a little about why and how are the birds able to sing. Birds do not have larynx like we humans do instead they have something called as syrinx. This syrinx is situated much deeper into the bird's body unlike the larynx. But all the birds in the world can not sing. Studies say that nearly half the species of the birds present in the world can not sing. They but regularly create sounds having different meanings, purpose of which are still not much known. Birds generally make sounds for general alarm calls, aggressive calls, territorial defence calls, flight calls, flock calls, agony calls, feeding calls and pleasure calls.
Biologists say that it is very necessary to record the sounds of various tropical birds for getting the exact and complete information about them. Even exact method, the instruments used, and the condition of those instruments can greatly create a flaw in the recording of the sounds. Many bird species are still to be discovered, as they are in dense forests and it is very hard and risky for the biologists to reach there and also carry the instruments. So there is a great need for a high technological, light weight portable instrument.
There are over 9000 different types of bird species that have their unique way of communicating through sounds. Now this is also an anonymity that- can these birds of different species talk to the other species through their unique way of making sounds?
Birds most of the times sing and make sounds to communicate but some studies show that they sing mostly at the time of dawn or dusk. Some birds also have different vocal range. Some of them can be too high or too low for the human ear.
