Piplup song and calls

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

Song

Piplups do not have a complex song. Their vocalizations are primarily calls used for communication within the colony.

Calls

Their calls are varied, including sharp 'peep-peep' sounds, trumpeting calls, and squawks. During courtship, males may emit a series of loud, rhythmic calls. Alarm calls are typically harsh and rapid.

When they vocalize

Most vocal during the breeding season, particularly when establishing territories, attracting mates, and interacting within the colony. They are generally quieter when at sea.
