Bird sings through feathers

In 2005 Kimberly Bostwick, curator of birds and mammals at the Cornell University of Vertebrates in Ithaca, New York, theorized that the male club-winged manakin—a tiny bird of the Andean cloud forest—was vibrating a club-shaped wing feather against a neighbouring, ridged feather to "sing" when trying to attract females.

Proving the feather-song connection, though, would be a huge challenge. The team used lasers to monitor vibrations as they were oscillated by a lab device called a mini-shaker. The special feathers vibrated at exactly 1500 hertz — proving they're responsible for the strange sounds. LINK: Nothing to do with Arbroath

Alligators Sing! (But Not to Attract Mates)

Chinese alligators like a good sing-a-long, but they don't worry about carrying a tune. They also don't much care what the opposite sex thinks of the song choice, according to a story on National Geographic News.

Researchers with the Chinese Academy of Sciences ran some tests to see whether alligator "songs"--it's really more like sustained, extremely loud croaking, which the researchers compare the sound to thunder--attract mates to the singer. Surprisingly, it didn't work that way.

And yet, the alligators do seem to sing more during mating season. So far, the best guess is that the songs are really a way of saying,"Hey, I'm an alligator, too. And I'm over here!" Which, in the context of mating, is just the time-honored tradition of hoping the opposite sex notices that you exist. LINK: Boingboing
