Different communication and breeding calls of male and female Gambel's Quails (Callipepla gambelii) and a speech of two females and two males on a fence. Here is a challenge: after watching isolated calls at the beginning of the video, try identifying calls in the subsequent chorus and also at the end 😊
Male calls:
00:00 and 02:49 - a call announcing male's availability during the breeding season, which is given from an elevated perch;
00:44 - solo communication calls;
01:17 - communication calls in a group.
Female calls:
00:22 and 03:15 - solo communication calls;
01:18 communication calls in a group.
Call at dusk:
03:01 (could not see whether it was given by a male or female quail).
"Just before her eggs hatch, the female Gambel’s Quail calls to the chicks, who cheep to each other from inside the eggs. The eggs hatch in synchrony." - The Cornell Lab of Ornithology
