Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
One characteristic vocalization is a two note call, described as "chip-chee, accented on the second syllable" (Raffaele et al. 1998). Also a short chatter.
Nonvocal Sounds
As do the other species of tody, both sexes of Narrow-billed Tody have a wing-rattling sound, "produced as air passes rapidly through the slightly attenuated outer primaries" (Kepler 1977). Todies are capable of silent flight, and so the wing rattle sound is intentional.
