About the White-bellied treepie
The White-bellied treepie is a bird in the family Corvidae (order Passeriformes). Its conservation status on the IUCN Red List is “least concern”. Adults weigh around 125 g.
What does the White-bellied treepie sound like?
Most birds have two kinds of vocalisation: songs, which are learned or innate phrases delivered mainly in spring and summer, and calls – brief contact, alarm and begging notes heard all year round. Listening for both helps with identification.
The recordings here are labelled as d-leucogastra. 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).
