Sound: and the Birds-of-Paradise

Explore more at www.birdsofpara...
The 39 species of birds-of-paradise look very different from each other, and they also also sound very different from each other. But researchers are only beginning to investigate their calls in detail. The sounds they make run the gamut from basic squawks, to seemingly mechanical noises, to melodious whistles, to sounds that don't involve their voices at all. The Cornell Lab's Ed Scholes explains:

[@IndianBirdVideos]

[@Dune137]

I think my favorite is at 1:26 "Hawookee-hawookee-hawoo"....AWESOME!!!

[@bestxXbudXxlayf]

Yes!!! Great video!!! I'll never forget the bird calls I heard while hiking through the tropical forest of volcan Arenal in Costa Rica. One of them sounded just like when Mario goes down those green tubes

[@jeanm.c6284]

Nice to read that. I´m from Costa Rica, and you´re referring to the Montezuma Oropendola (Psarocolius montezuma). One of the weirdest sounds you can hear in our rainforests. Regards from Guanacaste, C.R

[@bestxXbudXxlayf]

@@jeanm.c6284 that’s exactly the noise I heard!!! Thank you! I’ve wondered this for years. Nature sure is incredible

I want to hear the pure sounds without any narration.

[@XxRWRWxX]

[@complimentary_voucher]

I would imagine you hear them more than seeing them. Here in NZ the birds aren't hugely colourful (interestingly, there are a lot of wattles and iridescence) but they are extremely vocal in the same way, with Tui and Bellbirds doing stuff that sounds like a broken synthesizer being eaten by a dinosaur inside a cathedral. Extreme bell notes, drops, metallic gratings and 'double' sounds etc. With the same goal of being audibly 'visible' in a low-visibility forest habitat. They also perform 'look at me, girls!' ridiculous vertical ascents with ritualistic elements and special songs. Divergent, but probably on the way toward Paradise-type kinds of specialised display.

THANK YOU AN OUT STANDING IMPROVEMENT IN OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THESE WONDERFUL BIRDS. IJGL

[@amergr2]

Realy amazing sound. Good effort.

[@maily1961]

wonderfull work ... BRAVO

[@mfhusain5891]

I love the UFO landing sound one, the bird might pretended the real one's sound that had visited the jungle

[@Alyenbird]

Were you not able to record the amazing thrumming sound the Blue Bird of Paradise makes during his display? I was suprised it was not also featured in the video. It sounds amazing and not at all birdlike.

[@SynthAddict]

nice compilation - would love to see/hear them one of these days
the most amazing sound I've heard in person so far is the large Indri lemurs vocalizing in the early morning, in a misty valley in Madagascar many years ago - magical sounds and scenery and that had a humpback whale song quality with the added natural reverb :-)

[@burnsoftoboggan7968]

stunning

It's rare but the male greater BOP makes like this "meehp" sound

[@djhunior1973]

As vezes fico imaginando como seria seu mundo de origem si no caso essas maravilhosas aves fossem mesmo de alguma outra galáxia em um outro mundo distante deste.

[@samcena7308]

رائع

[@dayyan97978]

Where do these creatures live?

[@astheroseblooms5645]

Birds can imitate. The UFO sound may be an imitation.
