Hello:
I am researching an article on mechanical sound production in birds for an
upcoming issue of the IB Bulletin, I am in need of good Australian examples.
Specifically, I am interested in externally produced sounds (not songs)
that have evolved to serve for a particular function(s) ... e.g. sounds used
in courtship displays, territorial advertisements, warning signals, etc.
It would be most helpful if you include the names of species with a
description of the sound produced. Species that I am aware of include:
Palm Cockatoos
Albatrosses
Some doves
As you can see I am low on Australian examples.
Bill clapping would be a good one if I had specific information on a given
species and the context in which the sound is produced? Albatrosses come
to mind.
Any others?
Cheers, Jim
