Full Text PDF

Abstract:

The present study focused on recordings of sounds of Saxicoloides fulicata (Indian robin) from Kalaburagi distract, Karnataka state. The study was undertaken during the Many 2012 to April 2013. During the study period about 50 samples of sounds of Indian robin were recorded and spectral analysis was performed subjected to sound samples. the study results indicate that, three types of sounds were identified and with significant variations in their structural hierarchy with distinct high and low frequencies.
