The pied butcherbirdCracticus nigrogularis is suggested for a zoömusicological case study on how birdsong mightbe like the human animal´s music (whether homologous or analogous). Portamento as animpediment to off-the-shelf musicology in the case of birdsong analysis is discussed. It isproposed that the employment of different types and levels of description could facilitate themost fecund survey and analysis. An initial survey on how pied butcherbirds use notes, calls,and song is presented, including sonograms and standard music notation, followed by anelucidation of a repertoire of procedures found in both music and pied butcherbird song. It isconcluded that their elaborate song culture seems to overreach biological necessity, indicatingan aesthetic appreciation of sound is present in the pied butcherbird. 2008 artículo científico 1697-0101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=82201213 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=822 Trans.
