Abstract
This study aims to analyze the acoustic characteristics of swiftlet (Aerodramus fuciphagus) calls on their three main behavioral phases: breeding, nestling, and flocking. The data in this study were collected by using the observation technique. The tools used were a sound recorder in the form of a Zoom Handy Recorder H1n and a laptop equipped with Audacity software and Swiftlets as the research subjects. The acoustic data analysis was carried out descriptively by describing the results of the four selected calls in each behavior displayed on the Audacity spectrogram for each observed parameter. In addition, the frequency parameters were analyzed descriptively by calculating the average (mean), minimum value, and maximum value from the results of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) display in Audacity. The data were then analyzed statistically and inferentially to test the differences in the sound characteristics between the behavioral phases by using SPSS software. The parameters with homogeneous variance were analyzed by using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), while the parameters with inhomogeneous variance were analyzed by using the Welch test. Based on the research results, the vocalization of swiftlets (Aerodramus fuciphagus) has clear variations in the temporal and frequency characteristics in the breeding, nestling, and flocking behavioral phases.
