Birds that live in Australia, research results that they convey a variety of meanings in the cries that you or combine together to connect the sound is the 29th, was announced. Such skills was considered unique to humans.
The study of the listed same paper to online scientific journal Prospero Biology (PLoS Biology), was discovered in Australia outback chestnut Hats Australia Maruha death.

Among scientists, chestnut Hats Australia Maruha sheet While it was previously known that combines the various patterns barks found to have not been considered to be significant in that, Switzerland lead author papers Zurich Sabrina Engessa university (University of Zurich) (Sabrina Engesser) says.

"1 overall message is also changing the arrangement of sound in Tsunosaezuri seems unchanged," said Engessa says. The research team studied the singing of this bird, we found the cries of the pattern is different depending on the situation.

For example, by combining two cries research team named "A" and "B" becomes the cry in flight as the "AB", it becomes cries when feed the chicks when it comes to "BAB".

When you play these sounds, chestnut Hats Australia Maruha sheet showed a different reaction. Look at their nest when he heard the cries of when to give the bait, when I heard the cry in flight is that I did the eyes to look for a fellow to come towards us.

"Meaningless of a combination of sound ability to generate new meaning was observed in non-human This is the first time," said a co-author of the paper of the University of Zurich Simon Townsend (Simon Townsend) Dr. pointed out.

【マイアミAFP＝時事】オーストラリアの奥地に生息する鳥が音を組み合わせた鳴き声を発することで、異なる意味を仲間に伝えているとの研究結果が29日、米科学誌プロス・バイオロジーに発表された。これまでこのような能力は人間だけが備えているとみられていた。
クリボウシオーストラリアマルハシに着目したチューリヒ大学の研究者によると、鳥が異なる音を組み合わせてさえずる能力があることは知られていたが、意味を持っているとは考えられていなかった。　
研究チームは鳴き声のある音を「A」、別の音を「B」として、「AB」の組み合わせは飛んでいるとき、「BAB」は餌を与えるときの鳴き声と突き止めた。研究チームが餌の鳴き声を流すと鳥は自分の巣を見詰め、飛ぶときの鳴き声を流すと到来する鳥を警戒した。
研究者は、鳥の鳴き声は「私たち（人間）が現在使っている複雑な言語体系が出現したころの初期段階に相当するとみられる」と話している。
