>>>>>> Their sound reminds me of domestic chickens, but richer. And wow,
towards the end of the recording, they *really* get excited. But what
is that sound at 1:57?! It doesn't seem to fit in.<<<<<<<<





Hahahaha so you are not really familiar with their call? This is the boomin=
g
call the male makes at a low frequency produced by the syrinx and amplified
by the air sack of the male.. The sounds (and I have over 2 hours) become
very intense and much more of these base notes become apparent. They are a
great test for microphones. I am told the male utters these vocalizations a=
t
a rate of 10.2 displays/Minute.
