**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the voice box in birds, similar to how humans have a larynx. 2. **Identifying the Voice Box in Birds**: In birds, the voice box is known as the "syrinx." 3. **Comparison with Human Voice Box**: Just like humans have a larynx for producing sound, birds use the syrinx for their vocalizations. 4. **Function of the Syrinx**: The syrinx serves not only to produce sound but also helps in controlling airflow, which is essential for sound production. 5. **Location of the Syrinx**: The syrinx is located deep within the chest at the end of the trachea, which is the tube that carries air to the lungs. 6. **Presence in Birds**: Most birds possess a syrinx, particularly songbirds. However, some birds like vultures and ostriches do not have a syrinx. 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the name of the voice box of birds is "syrinx." ---
