Call 2 recordings
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.
Alarm call 1 recording
Alarm calls are short, sharp, urgent notes given when a predator or other threat is near — often understood by other species too.
Flight call 1 recording
Flight calls are the notes a bird gives on the wing, helping flocks stay together — and a key way researchers monitor nocturnal migration.
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.
