Songs

Males sing a complex series of jumbling and squeaky notes that they repeat 2–5 times for about 3 seconds. Although the basic elements of the song remain the same, males switch up the order of the notes, giving variety to their songs. During territory establishment, males sing about 4 songs per minute, but they sing more often during territorial disputes and when the female begins incubating.

Calls

The most frequently heard call is a sharp, metallic pik given by both males and females.
