摘要 在这项研究中，我们对虎皮鹦鹉（一种小型群居长尾小鹦鹉）复杂的多音节啭歌的结构进行了初步分析。我们记录了来自三个不同社会群体的八只雄性虎皮鹦鹉和一只雌性虎皮鹦鹉。虎皮鹦鹉的鸣叫声由长长的音节序列组成，这些音节结构各异，从简单的咔哒声到多音符、调频的音乐音节。我们确定了 42 个音节类别。与同一社会群体中的男性相比，男性与不同群体中的男性共享颤音音节曲目的比例明显更高。一只雄性虎皮鹦鹉优先模仿其笼中伙伴（一只在声音和社会隔离中饲养的雄鸟）异常鸣叫的音节和时间模式，而不是模仿相邻笼子中其他雄性虎皮鹦鹉的正常鸣叫。我们讨论对社会同伴的声音模仿作为声音学习的过程，它的潜在作用......
ABSTRACT In this study we present a preliminary analysis of the structure of the complex multisyllabic warble song of the budgerigar Melopsittacus undulatus, a small, flock-living parakeet. We recorded eight male budgerigars from three different social groups, and one female. Budgerigar warble songs consist in long sequences of syllables that are diverse in structure, ranging from simple clicks to multinote, frequency-modulated musical-sounding syllables. We identified 42 syllable classes. Males shared a significantly greater percentage of their warble syllable-class repertoire with males in the same social group than with males in different groups. One male budgerigar preferentially imitated the syllables and temporal pattern of the abnormal warble of his cagemate (a male bird that had been reared in acoustic and social isolation) rather than the normal warble of other male budgerigars in adjoining cages. We discuss vocal imitation of social companions as a process of vocal learning, the potential role o...
