“…We cannot distinguish the overt planning we find from a more complex use-and-experience dependent forgetting, since we only probed for recovery of pitch and did not attempt to push birds into planning pitch shifts further away from baseline. Evidence for more flexible planning is provided by the pitch matching skills of nightingales (3). Interestingly, although nightingales can reach without practice even distant pitch targets, the targets in (3) were also located within the extent of nightingale’s recent song practice, so also satisfied d ′ ≃ 1.…”

“…Song is composed of discrete elements, called syllables, that are organized according to syntactic rules. The complexity of song syntax varies widely across different songbird species – from the simple and repetitive songs of owl finches ( Wang et al, 2019 ) and zebra finches ( Zann, 1996 ) to the variable songs of Bengalese finches ( Honda and Okanoya, 1999 ) and canaries ( Nottebohm et al, 1976 ; Cohen et al, 2020 ) up to the immense repertoire of nightingales ( Hultsch et al, 2004 ; Costalunga et al, 2023 ). The neuronal mechanisms of birdsong production have been primarily studied in the zebra finch, partly by leveraging the structure of zebra finch song, in which syllables are produced in a relatively stereotyped and linear sequence.…”
