Abstract

Communication among animals is one of the vital behavioural patterns for both species and
individual by affecting the ability of reproduction, feeding and protection from predators. Song,
which emitted highly in breeding seasons, is a transmission way of the information about the
reproductive status and fi tness of the individuals (generally males) to the potential mates. Male’s
song is a declaration of territory to all other males, and information of his availability to the females.
Variations in the specifi cation of song, such as repertory, frequency and amplitude, incorporate the
information about the individual identity, health, sex and reproduction attributes of the individual.
Hence, animals can recognise their partners, parents and neighbours using only their voice. On
the other hand, song can be used for gathering, alarm and protection. For animal science, song is
an economic trait like in canary, partridge and Denizli cock. On the other hand, song has indirect
economic values because of its importance in reproduction, fertility and hatchability poultry.
