The Red-legged Tinamou has 4 field recordings on Birbs covering 2 kinds of sound: its song and call.
Song 3 recordings
The song is a bird's most elaborate vocalisation, used mainly to claim a territory and attract a mate. In many species it is sung mostly by males and peaks in the breeding season.
Call 1 recording
Calls are the short, simple notes birds use all year round — to stay in contact, coordinate with a flock, or react to what is happening around them.
About these recordings
The audio comes from the xeno-canto community archive, where field recordists share their recordings under Creative Commons licences. Each player shows who recorded the clip and the licence it is shared under, and links through to the recording's own page. Recording quality and background noise vary — these are wild birds recorded in the field, not studio audio.
