During the next set, the males repeat the same 12 songs, but this time, vary the length of each individual song.<\/p><p>It was thought that the variation in song lengths was random, but <a href=\"https:\/\/today.duke.edu\/2022\/01\/birds-shuffle-and-repeat-their-tunes-keep-audience-listening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this new study<\/a><strong>,<\/strong> conducted by researchers from Duke University, found that males vary their song lengths according to a specific pattern. If a song was repeated ten times in one set, it is sung only once or twice in the next set, and a song that was sung only a few times in the first set was sung much more often in the next.<\/p><p>Whether or not this variation is intended to make their sets more interesting to potential mates, it does mean that male Song sparrows can retain a memory of their song lengths and order for at least 30 minutes. This is more 360 times longer than was previously thought. The former record-holder for retaining song-length memory was the canary, which varies its songs only within a five-second time span. Song sparrows truly are the sparrows of song.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e9a36d elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"8e9a36d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-feather-alt\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M512 0C460.22 3.56 96.44 38.2 71.01 287.61c-3.09 26.66-4.84 53.44-5.99 80.24l178.87-178.69c6.25-6.25 16.4-6.25 22.65 0s6.25 16.38 0 22.63L7.04 471.03c-9.38 9.37-9.38 24.57 0 33.94 9.38 9.37 24.59 9.37 33.98 0l57.13-57.07c42.09-.14 84.15-2.53 125.96-7.36 53.48-5.44 97.02-26.47 132.58-56.54H255.74l146.79-48.88c11.25-14.89 21.37-30.71 30.45-47.12h-81.14l106.54-53.21C500.29 132.86 510.19 26.26 512 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2283f15\" data-id=\"2283f15\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8067e2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8067e2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/pibo.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Sparrow.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Song Sparrow\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjcwMzIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9waWJvLmNhXC9lblwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvU29uZy1TcGFycm93LmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/pibo.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Sparrow.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-27032\" alt=\"Song Sparrow\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pibo.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Sparrow.jpg 800w, https:\/\/pibo.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Sparrow-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pibo.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Sparrow-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/pibo.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Sparrow-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25c9c80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25c9c80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Song Sparrow<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A study published in January found that male Song sparrows sing a repertoire of up to 12 two-second songs in sets lasting about 30 minutes \u2013 repeating a single song many times in a row within each set.
