- •
We trained budgerigars to produce calls as a conditioned response under operant control.
- •
We asked whether the behavior is influenced by hearing vocalizations of other birds.
- •
Birds vocalized louder in the context of hearing another bird's call than to hearing the presentation of pure tones, or hearing no other sound at all.
- •
The acoustic variation also increased when it in the context of hearing another bird’s call.
- •
The operant control of vocal behavior is not disconnected from the natural vocal communicative behavior.
