The avian song system is a particularly good model for studying the behavioral and physiological aspects of animal development. One seemingly trivial but very important reason for this is that the sound spectrograph enables sounds to be described, measured and analyzed objectively and in detail. Secondly, birdsong is one of the few behaviors which is performed by a separate chain of brain regions and is therefore relatively easy to investigate neurophysiologically. Work on song also provides a clear illustration of the subtle way in which birds are influenced by their internal and external environments during development.
鸟类鸣叫系统是研究动物发育行为和生理方面的一个特别好的模型。一个看似微不足道但非常重要的原因是，声谱仪能够客观、详细地描述、测量和分析声音。其次，鸟鸣是少数由独立的脑区链执行的行为之一，因此相对容易从神经生理学角度进行研究。关于鸣叫的研究也清楚地说明了鸟类在发育过程中受到其内部和外部环境影响的微妙方式。
