The male bellbird perches on high branches and opens his mouth a full 180° to make his distinctive call "bonk".
Its name comes from the three black worm-like wattles of skin that hang from the sides and top of the bill. These wattles can be as long as 10cm (juveniles have shorter ones). The wattles remain flaccid even when extended. The male shakes the wattles, as a courtship display while making his very loud calls (some of the loudest in the world of birds).

Are there sounds humans can't hear on these songs because it sure looks like a LOT of effort for one metallic honk. What a gorgeous color, this bird is amazing.
There is 100% more movement in its neck than the sounds were hearing
There are mics that can record beyond the range of human hearing. I bet if you record this bird with one of those it would show up in a waveform
Different hertz
It's a lot of effort because it's a tiny bird using tiny lungs to make such a loud sound. A human doesn't have to put in that much effort to be so loud because we're much bigger, stronger, and have larger lung capacity.
@@daltonsimmerman3054 Those sounds clock in at over 100 dB. It's cousin species, the white bellbird, has been recorded at 125dB. That's louder than any human.
@@sinine1100 plus the loud aspect of their sound deafens the females according to research. It has to be something else we don't hear, I agree
There is nothing inside that bird's mouth but void and mystery. Aside from the noise, that is.
@@RevieXxXGtag uh huh
This bird is scary looking and beautiful. It's gaping black mouth is the scary part, It's song is well.... not pleasing. Unless you are a 3 Wattled Bellbird I suppose. I love the plumage and wattles. Fascinating and wonderful bird.
Sounds like microphone feedback. Check, check… 1,2, check, check!
Those wattles though! Agrees there are tones we're not even hearing here!!
This is the only thing that makes my “female” canary step down from a fight, be quiet and stop attacking my poor male canary and all the rest of the aviary. This wattle bird guy is adorable but fierce. I have this on a loop to keep her from fighting with every other bird. The fairy wrens near by in the wild are super intrigued by it lol.
One of my diamond doves started doing a bowing and mating song in response lol
I was sitting on my porch in Virginia.
Then I heard the loudest sound louder than this n little deeper. I'm like what the heck is going on? Now I know.
The note for these birds is E
This little things hanging off it’s lips are pretty gnarley
What a funky and stylish little guy!
You could just put one of these in Star Wars and no one would think, hey, that's a regular normal Earth bird.
Wow, there is so much going on. The expansion and contraction of the wattles, the contrast between the ebony interior of the mouth and those blinding white feathers, the shaking of his body...I didn't know such a bird existed. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
And what was that dark reddish thing it spit out?
A small fruit i think
Fantastic. Thanks so much.
the ole Sony speakers LOVE the high pitch!! sounds great on the bookshelf monitors :)
Imagine waking up to caution level 5 alarms everyday because you wanted one
They're allegedly much louder in person. Must be making more high pitched noises
What an interesting bird! If you described this bird to me I would think you were making something up, but here’s the proof! Thank you for the video
Bird thinks he's master shifu.
Sounds like techno music
Beautiful, fascinating, and needs WD40 or something
A wonderful day for you is a wonderful day for the world! :-D
Thank you! I was just watching a video of BBC Earth which was only about sounds in nature, just out now and I heard this bird at the Cloud Forest in Costa Rica and looked him up. It was not difficult to find who this bird is! And now I find your video! Beautiful! It would be interesting to listen to the recording you mention below of sounds we humans are not able to hear in our range from this awesome bird. So amazing!
Thanks for your wonderful comment Roxanne!
What a gorgeous bird!!
Going to CR next month and this is one of many species on my list I hope to get. There's just something about bellbirds and other cotingas I can't describe. They have an almost supernatural quality to them, especially due to the volume and perching high up on exposed branches. They are literally on another level from other birds and for me just hearing the terms "umbrellabird" or "fruitcrow" makes them seem like these ethereal, spiritual creatures
The void mouth and mechanical sounds are giving tiny eldritch horror
It sure is a beautiful bird. I echo Edward's question.."does it ever bite it's own wattles?" It really has a spectacular song. Thank you.
Joan
Thanks Joan!
If you watch from 2:57 ... you may notice that the end of its right wattle is partly inside it's beak... then few seconds later it almost bite it 🙂
ズームしたら舌が見えました❗😲舌が動いてます。多分
Almost seems like the bird calls out in a certain frequency we cant hear before he calls out like a metal table slightly being moved.
Really Amazing 🕊️
Thank you 🙌
I heard once that these guys are some of the loudest calling birds around.
Yes, the Three-wattled bellbird is one of the loudest (100 dB) while world’s loudest bird is also a bellbird: the White Bellbird (125 dB) 🐦
Ouuu he's super adorable! Such a cute bird! Love the capture also!
Sounds like a Microphone
Beautiful
Thank you
I really need to know how can a bird make such a strange call, does anyone know the physiology of this bird?
Does it ever bite its own wattle? It must be spectacular to see it in person. I've never heard a call like that.
Thanks a lot Edward for your comment 🙏 Not sure about biting its own wattle... however at 2:59 it's rolled around it's beak 😊
@@DavidWeiller Yeah, I did see that. Then flicked it off. I still bite my tongue, wondered if there were nerves in the waddle.

Those wattles look so wrong...
Dubstep bird
Why does it take a few seconds for the sound to build up and get released?
Not sure but if you look at its throat, it slightly moves before the sound... maybe it takes a time to prepare that specific throat position and then take a breath first?
@@DavidWeiller maybe, I kinda felt it's condensing the air and sort of gurgling the air for a sweet spot, before releasing 😆
Cuthulu bird
Great capture🙌🤩 do you know what purpose his wattles actually serve?
Thanks! I read it's for the courtship display. Youngs have smaller ones.
If it catches a snake and the tail is hanging out, how does it know which one's the snake 🤔
What does it eat and where does it survive?
can i adopt him?
Where was this filmed?
I wonder how far its call carries. Do these birds flock or tend to be mostly solitary except when looking a mate?
Thanks for your question. They don't flock but there were a few of these rare birds singing around the same area of cloudforest (like one or two every hundred meter). One fact worth noting is that their nest hve almost never been found... so they are difficult to study.
@@DavidWeiller Thanks for your answer. These certainly are amazing & mysterious birds! Thankful you are able to observe them so we can appreciate them also.
What type of bird is that
A bellbird
Is this a april's fools or just creepy nature? 😅
Sounds like a robot 🤖
Smoke detector
🤦🏽 took me 4 minutes to realize this is done on a computer graphics are crazy nowadays
