Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
Although a small range of vocalisations are known for the species, very few observers have heard them or have been able to obtain recordings because of the difficulty in finding suitable locations/habitat for the species. The species usually sings from within vegetation, often whilst foraging.
Vocalisation #1: The song is a mewing or nasal-like prr’kuit kuit between 1-2 seconds long (e.g. Lloyd: XC 23255) with the time between repeats, the length of the introductory prr note, and the number of kuit’s variable (Remsen 2003, Schulenberg et al. 2007).
Vocalisation #2: Calls vary. They include a nasal tu-vit (Schulenberg et al. 2007, e.g. Krabbe: XC 20141) often given as a contact call between pairs and amongst family group members (up to four or five individuals) as they forage together (Lloyd unpublished data).
Vocalisation # 3: Calls also include a squeakier djewit (Schulenberg et al. 2007, e.g. Lloyd: XC 23253) when members of a pair or family group are foraging apart (Lloyd unpublished data).
Vocalisation #4: The species also emits a chattering trill during disputes (e.g. Lloyd: XC 23252) or when excited (e.g. Lloyd: XC 23254).
Vocalisation # 5: Young birds in the nest also emit a loud chattering trill and a softer version of the typical song when adults enter the nest (Franke and Salinas 2001).
