Abstract
Female domesticated canaries (Serinus canaria) respond to conspecific song with copulation solicitation display (CSD) between 21 and 27 days after their first offspring has hatched. This period could be used to investigate the acoustical preferences of female canaries. This non-i nvasive method respects the natural reproductive cycle and could be an alternative to the invasive method of estradiol implants.
