Which consequence results when white-crowned sparrow chicks are isolated from tutor songs during early sensitive periods?

A)Impaired food source identification skills
B)Increased vulnerability to avian parasites
C)Development of abnormal song structure
D)Disrupted circadian activity rhythms formation

💡 Explanation

Abnormal song structure occurs because lack of exposure prevents proper imitation via vocal learning, meaning no template. This interferes with the birdsong development mechanism; therefore aberrant songs are produced, rather than expected species-specific sounds.
