I do not think these are advertising or contact calls but more likely mating-ritual calls.Visit the main religious sanctuary of Araquari.įounded in 1853, it pays homage to the patron saint of the town. Despite their loudness they are low frequency calls.Ī call record comprising 3 sets of these calls is found here. The “oii, oii, oii” calls can also be heard in one section of the recording. They last 17-22 seconds and comprise 50-60 notes. These calls start very soft then rapidly get very loud. The second, louder call, is a strident “chip, chip”. One call is that as described by Wells (1999) as “pi-hor”. This time there were two distinct calls made, often in unison, and by two different birds that seemed to be sided by side. The calls I heard at this time were different from the ones I have heard in the past (see this older recording: calls rendered “oii, oii, oii” by Wells). Calls made by one bird were answered by 2 other birds from different locations not necessarily at the same time. On 18th April 2022 at 1.20pm at 1,800m ASL at Cameron Highlands I came across this group of at least 3 birds (possibly 5) using loud calls – the birds were more heard than seen (not seen well in the undergrowth). I occasionally come across Malayan Partridges in the Cameron Highlands.
