In this work, we show that pressure patterns used ubiquitously by canaries (Serinus canaria) during song aresimilar to the subharmonic solutions of a periodically driven low dimensional neural network compatible with theanatomical observations of the RA nucleus. Moreover, the coordinated pressure and tension necessary togenerate syllables with experimentally observed acoustic features can also be generated by a low dimensionalneural architecture
