Abstract: The structure, spectra and temporal parameters of sounds of Velarifictorus micado under different conditions were studied by acoustic analysis techniques. The results show that the sounds can be classified into 7 types of songs: calling, warning, provoking, victory, welcome, courting and urging song. The experiments show that the characteristics of these 7 types of songs are distinguished in acoustic properties with specific behavior and biological information.

Key words: Velarifictorus micado, sounds, acoustic property, behavior
