Abstract:The distribution and use of the element “kit” as terminal part of the song of Chaffinches was studied in 16 ?. The frequency of occurrence of the “kit” was dependent on individual ? and on song types, and the “kit” was omitted significantly more often then any other part of the song pattern. The specific character of the “kit” as a terminal element, possible proximate factors for its occurrence, and the question whether it is a hetero-specific imitation are discussed.
