The fact that some of them can use this to make human sounds as well is just otherworldly

And they have a much more efficient respiratory system, which is unidirectional. They inhale into their posterior air sacs and exhale a previous breath from their anterior air sacs at the same time, the air being pushed through their immobile lungs (located against their back, not their chest) in one direction between so that they can get every last molecule of oxygen unlike us. This continuous air flow means they can ā€œbreatheā€ (harvest oxygen) at the same time they can pull air through their syrinx to vocalize. The air sacs also extend into their bones and air sac arrangements vary by species. Birds really are something else.

Which is why cupping your hands together helps to make bird noises, itā€™s creates a reverberation which allows you to make two notes sound roughly at the same time and make a bird call. Itā€™s not perfect but unless you got some fast track evolution itā€™s the best you got

So we can mimic the sound but can't truly make it ourselves, like how parrots and the like can mimic humans but don't have vocal cords. I think this is the implication, because I've heard some pretty damn convincing bird impressions.

I'm pretty good at whistling like a mourning dove, but that's about it

"Syrinx" is Greek for "reed", in reference to the hollow shape of the reed's stem, but it's also used to refer to various wind instruments. It's etymologically related to "syringe", both being thin, hollow tubes.

Ah, but we can. Skilled vocalist can utilize both their vocal track and nasal and throat cavities to produce two tones at once. Tuvan throat singing, look it up. It's fascinating.

Zoidberg can also harmonize with himself.

They have beaks, we have mouths. Pretty reasonable that thoseā€™d make different sounds imo

There are birds that mimic car alarms, people talking, camera sounds, & sadly Chainsaws, the list goes on. The Rainfirests have birds that can do that. Pretty cool

Are you sure the syrinx is totally new? It looks like a mutated larynx to me.

Thatā€™s so interesting about that lung structure, and thanks for explaining why vultures canā€™t ā€œsingā€. Vultures actually ARE beautiful, in their own way. I witnessed a one get hit by an RV in July as it was cleaning up the remains of a skunk (after I had flashed my headlights to warn the driver something was up ahead)šŸ¤¬. I went back to move the poor thing out of the busy road while the other vultures flew into the trees, and I discovered there wasnā€™t much damage, the head just had a scuff on the skin, the eyes were open and ā€œalive but not consciousā€, the heart was still fluttering, and the feet and wings gave responses when touched, so I spent a good 20 minutes beside the busy road trying to get the heartbeat normalized with ā€œCPRā€ presses and pinching/rubbing the feet to wake it, but the head trauma was just too much. Eventually the heart stopped completely despite my efforts. I left the poor thing in a safe place in the grass where the others could find their buddy. šŸ˜¢ This was a beautiful bird with lipstick-red face skin soft as a babyā€™s and hazel eyes, with beautiful feathers. They arenā€™t ugly like Hollywood depicts them, just different because of the bald red hea

Do we know how long this trait has been in birds? Could cretaceous raptors have had it?
