From an article by Michael Richie, "Rocky Mountain Bird Songs", MontroseStyle Magazine, Spring/Summer 2009, The Music Issue. "While our vocal ranges overlap, birds surpass humans in several aspects of music making. The avian vocal chord, called the syrinx, technically surpasses our larynx. Sound is produced in much the same way by forcing air through a slit-like orifice between two flexible membranes, but birds control each membrane separately which means unlike us, they can produce two notes simultaneously. As complex and appealing as a Western Slope avian forest ensemble may sound, we probably only hear part of it."

How does a penguin sound?
Unlike mammals, birds do not have vocal chords, but instead possess a vocal organ called a syrinx (below the bird's larynx). The walls of the syrinx vibrate to produce sound.
Structure with different origin but same function?
An example of structures with different origin but same function is the wings of a bird and the wings of a butterfly. These structures have evolved independently in birds and insects to serve the same function of flying, but they have different origins in terms of their underlying anatomical structures and developmental pathways.
Does form follow function in the living world?
Yes, form often follows function in the living world. Organisms have evolved specific structural characteristics that help them carry out their biological functions efficiently. For example, the shape of a bird's beak is directly related to its feeding habits, showcasing how form and function are intertwined in biology.
How is the structure and function of an organism complementary?
The structure of an organism, such as its anatomy and physiology, is closely related to its function or role in the environment. For example, a bird's wings are structured in a way that allows for flight. The complementarity between structure and function ensures that the organism is well-suited for its survival and reproduction in its specific habitat.
Ostrich a bird or a mammal?
Ostrich is a bird, and it is the largest bird species in the world. They are flightless birds with long legs and necks.

What is the medium through which sound travels inside a bird?
Sound travels inside a bird's syrinx, which is a specialized vocal organ located at the base of the trachea where the bronchi split off to the lungs. The syrinx is responsible for producing sounds in birds and is unique to them in the animal kingdom.
