About the Amazonian grosbeak
The Amazonian grosbeak is a bird in the family Cardinalidae (order Passeriformes). Its conservation status on the IUCN Red List is “least concern”.
What does the Amazonian grosbeak sound like?
Bird vocalisations are usually divided into songs – longer, often complex phrases used to defend territory and attract mates, sung mostly by males in the breeding season – and calls: short, simple sounds for contact, alarm, begging or flight.
The recordings here are labelled as song. Listen for differences in rhythm, pitch and repetition – the spectrum display makes it easy to see whether a sound is a pure whistle (a thin line), a harsh call (a broad band) or a trill (rapid repeated marks).
