Turquoise Parrot song and calls

Birdsong and calls are often the easiest way to identify the Turquoise Parrot, especially when the bird is hidden in dense foliage. Below is what to listen for.

Song

A soft, pleasant, warbling song, often delivered from a perch or while feeding. It is not particularly loud or complex.

Calls

A soft, high-pitched 'ssit-ssit' or 'tsit-tsit' contact call, often given in flight or when disturbed. When alarmed, they emit a sharper, more urgent 'chit-chit'.

When they vocalize

Most vocal during feeding and in flight, particularly in the morning and late afternoon. Calls are generally quiet and can be easily overlooked.
