The Coscoroba Swan has 4 field recordings on Birbs covering 4 kinds of sound: its song, duet, call and alarm call.
Song 1 recording
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.
Duet 1 recording
A duet is coordinated singing by a mated pair — in some species so precisely timed that the two birds sound like one.
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.
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.
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.
