Secrets of Birdsong: A 3D Insight into the Syrinx and Respiratory System

Every single creature and plant in this world slowly grows into this beautiful "final form" lol. Watching a Sunflower seed pop out a giant stem out of nowhere gives me the same vibe.... Even the smallest fly is complex and it's beautiful, it's more than that but I can't explain. Makes me appreciate every growing thing

[@bingdinggold1877]

I've always loved animals but birds specifically weren't really an interest till recently. I ADORE woodpeckers and pipers and runners and it's so dope watching the different wild ones interact and change through the seasons. Same with the squirrels, kinda a pest, there's a shit ton where I'm at. But I see making a nest with branches and funnily dropping most of it and I grew morw appreciation. You don't even have to watch nature for long to see how cool and complex it is

[@bingdinggold1877]

Sorry for ranting I love this stuff and no one ik irl cares lol

[@DuneDemon8]

This is why you never pour water in the beak like you see in some "rescue" videos circling around the internet. Like birds dying of thirst but actually birds stunned because of the collisions. It takes just a tiny amount of water to go in the lungs, which happens very easily due to their physiology, it gets in to the air sac. Birds cant cough, it festers inside and bird gets pneumonia about 10 days later. On those videos birds fly away due to spontaneous recovery from collision, but the damage is already done, water is in air sacs and that bird is already dead. It will just take time for the infection to sink in.

Extraordinary! Birds have genius anatomical design, in so many ways. Their capacity for song, color vision, flight, night travel, and trans-global migration. They really are amazing!

Because I have asthma, and have less oxygen to deal with, I learned the trick of singing on both my breathing in and my breathing out, but I am nowhere near as good at it as birds, this is amazing. Thanks for visualizing it.

@SoftserveSodium ah thanks

[@gtjack9]

@@jf2801The term circular breathing is a poor over simplification of the actual process which is just being able to cause symmetric (identical) vibration of the lips on both the inhale and exhale, this could be applied to singing however the vocal cords are not designed to produce the same pitch, volume or clarity on the inhale, so I would be cautious to believe the possibility of this technique.

Song Birds have the most complex vocal apparatus out there. And I bet, as they get older, are able to retain their vocal pitches acutely--likely because their vocal cords don't atrophy--unlike humans whom get the short end of that stick if we overuse ours or as soon as we reach the age of 50 or higher.

How is the sound produced? Is it like a flute (in which only the air vibrates), or like clarinet (with a vibrating reed), or like a brass instrument or the human voice (with a two-part flesh gate blocking the airflow) ... or something else?

[@atomictraveller]

all of these instruments produce sound using the same reed principle, whatever bore shape. the clamping of reed motion in clarinets et c. adds the higher order energy making a brighter tone than lip-reeds or the glottis. cylindrical and conical termini reflect differently producing different regimes of oscillation, but basically all can be simulated with a mass-spring. the Y-junction kind of makes the syrinx a 1-op fm synth but i'd guess muscle motions or elastic properties are also used to produce modulation which results in lower frequencies. :)
