Bird sounds have influenced music time and again. Legendary musicians including Beethoven and Vivaldi are said to have been inspired by bird sounds.
The bird sounds range from soft whistling to rough grunts and trills. Here is a bird with a call that resembles the rings of bells! Three-wattled bellbirds are known for their distinctive bell-like call. They are often heard than seen since these birds are very shy and rarely come out of their dwelling. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed their status as vulnerable, making us doubtful if we could hear bell-like calls in future.
The bird hails from Latin America and is usually found in high mountain forests. Its migration pattern is not clearly understood. During winter, it migrates to lowland forests and goes to Costa Rica, Western Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama to bread. The size of the three-wattled bellbird ranges from 25 to 30 cm.
