Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
Fire-eyed Diucon is generally quiet (Ridgely and Tudor 1994, Jaramillo 2003). Calls of the diucon include a "soft, subdued pit or whit" (Ridgely and Tudor 1994) or a soft pt (Smith and Vuilleumier 1971, Jaramillo 2003), and "a very brief and relatively high pitched tseet" (Smith and Vuilleumier 1971) or "tseeet, sometimes given in series" (Jaramillo 2003). This may be the call that is described by Johnson (1967) as a "monosyllabic plaintive whistle ... so weak and subdued that it is difficult to believe that it comes from a bird of this size".
The song of Fire-eyed Diucon is "short call notes terminating in a flourish", transcribed as "pt wheet whut T-T-wheeeooo" (Jaramillo 2003).
