The Singing birds from far countries

Birds that sing are everywhere, even in the tropics of Africa or South America. The more hot the climate is, the usually more vibrant they look, as you can see on many photos. Singing birds in these parts is also not uncommon. But the researchers proved an interesting fact: birds of tropical latitudes sing lower voice than counterparts from temperate climates with higher frequencies. The reason is that in the tropics very dense vegetation, and sounds much more as chants and arrange multiple insects the hot impenetrable forests. Therefore, high frequency sounds simply jammed and have a poor permeability due to obstacles in the form of thick grass and trees.

Birds evolutionary there was only one way to be able to hear their counterparts – to communicate at low frequencies, which can go much further among vegetation and compete with the sounds of insects.

  • Size of birds also affects the height of voice. The smaller, the higherthe sound of melody and, conversely, the more the voice lower.
  • And some of the birds do not sing because they have no Syrinx. For example, white stork and Pelican.
  • Each species of birds has its own melody, which makes it easier for them during mating season to find members of the opposite sex among the many sounds and songs of other species.
