年轻的男性和女性斑胸草雀，Taeniopygia guttata，进行了测试，他们的能力区分他们的父亲或导师的歌曲和另一个男性在两种类型的偏好测试，一个男性的歌曲是不一样的父亲或导师和一个男性谁唱了类似的歌曲，从父亲，在4个月和6个月的年龄。与父亲隔离25天的鸟（A组）没有表现出对父亲歌声的偏好，而与父亲隔离35天的鸟（B和C组）学会了更喜欢父亲的歌声。此外，C组（35 ~ 70日龄与导师1一起饲养，4 ~ 6月龄与导师2一起饲养）更喜欢导师的歌曲。如果比较两种测试中的偏好强度，B组在父亲和相似男性的测试中表现出对父亲的偏好较弱。此外，C组在与导师1的测试中表现出较弱的偏好，而不是类似的男性。讨论了导师、兄弟姐妹和自己的歌曲对父亲歌曲辨别的可能影响，并与歌曲表演学习的结果进行了比较。最后，母鸟更喜欢它们配偶的歌声。
Young male and female zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata, were tested for their ability to discriminate between the song of their father or tutor and that of another male in two types of preference test, one with a male whose song was dissimilar to that of the father or tutor and one with a male who sang a similar song, on removal from the father, at 4 months and at 6 months of age. Birds that were isolated from their father at 25 days (group A) did not show a preference for their father''s song whereas those isolated from the father at 35 days (groups B and C) learned to prefer their father''s song. In addition, group C, which were housed with tutor 1 from 35 to 70 days and with tutor 2 from 4 to 6 months of age, preferred their tutors'' songs to those of other males. If one compares the strength of preference in the two types of test, group B showed a weaker preference for the father in tests with the father and a similar male. Further, group C showed a weaker preference in the test with tutor 1 versus a similar male. The possibile influence of tutor, sibling and own song on the discrimination of the father''s song is discussed, and the results are compared with those for song performance learning. Finally, the mother birds preferred their mate''s song.
