我用捕获的金丝雀长尾小鹦鹉（Brotogeris v. versicolurus）配对前后的行为和声音数据，测试了二重唱和配对之间关系的两种模型（配对结合；羞怯）。在所有的配对形成中，配对的建立先于或同时发生于协调良好的、物种典型的二重唱。没有证据表明在配对开始之前进行二重唱练习或在配对整合期间进行二重唱练习。这两种模型都预测，新配对在配对早期比后期更频繁地二重唱。但二重唱率在配对关系的早期并没有出现峰值。在配对历史中，新配对配对率相对较晚（配对后的第三至第四周）增加，并没有随着时间的推移而下降。亲和互动并没有像配对键合模型预测的那样在二重唱的同时达到峰值，也没有像羞怯模型预测的那样，在二重唱中亲和行为在一个高峰之后达到峰值。新配对的二重唱率与老配对的二重唱率无显著差异。因此，虽然二重唱是一种合作的、对内的相互作用，但没有证据表明它促进了金丝雀的成对结合。二重唱与对他人的激动行为之间存在显著的正相关。配对形成数据和二重唱与对他人的激动性之间的相关性表明，与新伴侣一起快速获得二重唱能力是一种选择。如果长尾鹦鹉花很长时间学习二重唱，它们可能会失去在群体中的地位，以及在资源竞争中表现出协调一致的能力。这可能是一种选择压力，导致金丝雀长尾小鹦鹉在没有羞涩的行为或声音策略的情况下完成配对。
I tested two models (pair bonding; coyness) of the relationship between duetting and pair bonding with behavioral and vocal data from captive canary-winged parakeet (Brotogeris v. versicolurus) mates before and after their pair formations. In all pair formations, pair establishment preceded or occurred simultaneously with well-coordinated, species-typical duets. There was no evidence of duet practise before pair initiation or improvement in duets during pair integration. Both models lead to the prediction that new pairs should duet more frequently early in their pairing compared to later. But duetting rates did not exhibit a peak early in the pair relationships. New pair duet rates increased relatively late (third to fourth week after pairing) in the pair history and did not show a decline over time. Affiliative interactions did not peak at the same time as duetting, as predicted by the pair-bonding model, nor did affiliative acts peak after a peak in duetting, as in the coyness model. Duetting rates of new pairs were not significantly different from those of older pairs. Thus, although duetting is a cooperative, intrapair interaction, there is no evidence that it promotes pair bonding in canary-winged parkeets. A significant, positive correlation was found between duets and agonistic acts against others. The pair formation data and this correlation between duetting and agonism against others suggest that there has been selection for rapid acquisition of duetting ability with a new partner. If parakaeet pairs spent prolonged periods learning their duets, they could lose status within the group and the ability to present a coordinated, united front in the competition for resources. This may have been the selection pressure that led pairing in canary-winged parakeets to be accomplished without recourse to coy behavioral or vocal stragtegies.
