Sounds and Vocal Behavior

Vocalizations

The song of Brown Tinamou generally is a series of loud short trills, which gradually rise in pitch. There is some geographic variation in the song, which merits further investigation.

For a representative audio recording with sonogram, see audio

A shorter, "daytime" song has a similar quality to the full song, but is "a shorter phrase of rising notes: Prrrr, prr-prree?" (Lane, in Schulenberg et al. 2010). For a representative audio recording with sonogram, see audio.

Additional audio recordings of vocalizations of Brown Tinamou can be heard at Macualay Library, at xeno-canto, and at Internet Bird Collection.

Nonvocal Sounds
