Overproduction and attrition: the fates of songs memorized during song learning in songbirds
2017, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :Swamp sparrow male song repertoires remain the same from year to year (Marler & Pickert, 1984), and during the early spring period of plastic song that precedes a male's second breeding season, Marler and Peters (1982c) identified not only syllables included in previously crystallized adult songs but also syllables that had been previously overproduced and lost during the first year of song development. At the beginning of their second breeding season, white-crowned sparrows, Zonotrichia leucophrys, exhibit re-expression of multiple song types memorized as juveniles, but as in swamp sparrows, individuals recrystallize the same songs from year to year (Hough, Nelson, & Volman, 2000). Thus it appears that the memory of sounds rehearsed only during plastic song in the first year are maintained and can reappear during plastic song in subsequent years even though they are never included in the adult repertoire.
Neural and Hormonal Control of Birdsong

2015, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :The stereotypy of song duration and of the “fee” note of Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) is greater during the breeding season (Smulders et al., 2006). Stable song produced during the breeding season, however, does not change in structure from year to year in closed-ended learners like Song Sparrows and White-crowned Sparrows (Hough et al., 2000; Nordby et al., 2002). What is the adaptive value of the extensive seasonal changes observed in the song circuits?
Does learning produce song conformity or novelty in white-crowned sparrows, Zonotrichia leucophrys?
2009, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :He overproduced at the beginning of both the 2006 and 2007 seasons before discarding the same song type each year. Such re-expression at the beginning of the singing season has been observed in the laboratory (Marler & Peters 1982b; Hough et al. 2000). The retained song type of male M-OW matched the dialect 7 song of the bird whose territory he was captured on as a floater in 2004 (and did not match any of his breeding neighbours).

2009, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :In white-crowned sparrows, Zonotrichia leucophrys, for example, young birds may start singing multiple song types, but later in life, after interactions with conspecifics in the breeding territory, they restrict themselves to a single song type (Nelson 2000b). It has even been shown with hand-reared individuals, of this so-called ‘nonrepertoire species’, that they are able to recall the previously sung but deleted song types from their memory (Hough et al. 2000). Similarly, hand-reared European starlings and nightingales are able to store song types (not imitated early in life) silently, and these can be activated later in life through interactive playbacks (Chaiken et al. 1994; Geberzahn et al. 2002; Geberzahn & Hultsch 2003).
