Answer:
Unlike the larynx of mammals, the syrinx is located where the trachea forks into the lungs. Birds also have a larynx (or cranial larynx as the syrinx is sometimes referred to as the caudal larynx) at the upper end of the trachea. The trachea are covered in partly ossified rings known as tracheal rings.

Answer:
Bird sounds are made without a larynx or even vocal folds. The bird equivalent of a larynx is a syrinx. The syrinx is located at the base of the trachea, close to where the trachea separate into the 2 bronchi (which then conduct air between the 2 lungs).
