The syrinx (from Ancient Greek σῦριγξ (súrinx) 'pan pipes') is the vocal organ of birds. Located at the base of a bird's trachea, it produces sounds without the vocal folds of mammals. The sound is produced by vibrations of some or all of the membrana tympaniformis (the walls of the syrinx) and the pessulus, caused by air flowing through the syrinx. This sets up a self-oscillating system that modulates the airflow creating the sound. The muscles modulate the sound shape by changing the tension of the membranes and the bronchial openings. The syrinx enables some species of birds (such as parrots, crows, and mynas) to mimic human speech. Unlike the larynx in mammals, the syrinx is located whe…

Transitions and tricks: nonlinear phenomena in the avian voice.. Birds evolved a novel vocal organ, the syrinx, that exhibits a high anatomical diversity. In the few species investigated, the syrinx can contain up to three pairs of functional syringeal vocal folds, acting as independent sound sources, and eight pairs of muscles. This rich variety in vocal structures and motor control results in a wide range of nonlinear phenomena (NLPs) and interactions that are distinct to avian vocal physiology, with many fascinating mechanisms yet to be discovered. Here, we review the occurrence of classical signatures of nonlinear dynamics, such as NLPs, including frequency jumps and transitions to chao…
