Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
The common call of Collared Aracari is a high, sharp, squeaky, note, such as seek, pseek, pink or penk, or a two-parted pi-cheet or squi-zeek (Skutch 1958, Stiles and Skutch 1989, Howell and Webb 1995). Sometimes emits a peetch which is rapidly repeated in an ascending pitch, growing weaker and shriller over time.; when giving this call, the birds swing their heads from side to side (Skutch 1958). Also has a rattle call, bddddddt, uttered when preparing to attack or fly (Short and Horne 2001). Other vocalizations include a purrr, which frequently is combined with a rattle or a seek call and an “aggressive, rasping” grhhrr (Short and Horne 2001).
Additional audio recordings of vocalizations of Collared Aracari can be heard at Macaulay Library and at xeno-canto.
Nonvocal Sounds
Wing whirring by Collared Aracaris often is audible when Collared Aracaris move (Short and Horne 2001). Adults sometimes bang their bills against the openings of nests (Short and Horne 2001). It is possible that the rattle sound (see Vocalizations) is not a call, but is a mechanical noise produced by rattling the tongue within the bill (Short and Horne 2001).
