Hummingbird They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, typically around 50 times per second, allowing them also to fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph). Hummingbirds have the highest metabolism of any homeothermic animal.

These Animalsâ Screams Will Chill Your Blood The ghostly bird’s sudden, chilling presence helps explain why the barn owl was believed to be an animal of bad omen in the past. A species that hardly utters a sound for most of the year, its screams are also perfectly timed for Halloween. You’ll start hearing the screams around now, Plant says, because at this time of year juvenile barn owls start seeking a mate for the first time.

Bird Sounds Birds sing songs as well as give calls. Songs are constructed differently and serve a different purpose to calls. It is bird song which has captured the hearts of human beings. Bird songs and singing is limited to only one order of birds, namely the Passeriformes. Even then not all passerines sing songs and probably less than half the birds on the planet are genuine songsters. The most famous song bird is the Nightingale (Erithracus megarhynchos).

How Birds Produce Sound This is BirdNote! [Call of the Brandt’s Cormorant; Song of the Northern Cardinal; Song of the Song Sparrow] You just heard the grunt of a cormorant, the whistle of a cardinal, and the song of a Song Sparrow. Nearly all birds produce sound through an organ unique to birds, the syrinx. [Song of cardinal] The syrinx is a set of muscles and membranes located where the two branches of the bronchial tubes converge to become the trachea. An adjacent air-sac helps build pressure in the syrinx.

Bird Sounds 1 The male and female sing different parts, and usually interweave their songs such that they sound like a single bird singing. 2  One captive male Carolina Wren sang nearly 3,000 times in a single day.  A pair bond may form between a male and a female at any time of the year, and the pair will stay together for life.

Why Do Owls Hoot? Most owls make these sounds in order to communicate. And there are just as many messages as there are different types of calls! The exact message conveyed by a particular sound will often vary between different types of owls. Most owl vocalizations are loud and low in pitch, which helps the sounds travel long distances through the night skies.

Can Parrots Really Talk? Instead of pushing air over vocal cords to create sound, parrots mimic sounds by using the muscles in their throat to direct airflow over the trachea (or windpipe) in an organ called the syrinx. They make different sounds by changing the depth and shape of the trachea.

- My guess is that your bell-like call is not from an owl. For the next several weeks Swainson's Thrushes will be migrating at night. Their contact notes are a wit or weep whistled call. This is one of the most common night-time bird calls during migration. You may be able to hear other calls from other birds (mostly passerines) at night, or see them fly across the face of the moon near the horizon.
