→Birds: linking recent work on infrasonic hearing in birds |
||
Line 32:
== Birds ==
Although birds do not produce vocalizations in the infrasonic range, reactions to infrasonic stimuli have been observed in several species, such as the homing pigeon, the guinea fowl, and the Asian grouse.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Yodlowski |first=M.
