The Tataupa Tinamou has 4 field recordings on Birbs — 3 of them classified across 3 kinds of sound: its song, subsong and 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.

Subsong 1 recording

Subsong is quiet, rambling, half-formed singing — often a young bird practising, or an adult singing softly outside the breeding season.

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.
