Redwing Bird Call and Song

The Redwing (Turdus iliacus) is a small thrush found throughout Europe and Asia. The redwing's call is a loud, clear, and melodious "tsee-tsee" or "tseep", that can be heard in the spring and fall migration and in the breeding season. The alarm call of the redwing is a sharp, high-pitched "sree" that is given when the bird is disturbed or threatened. This call is usually repeated several times in quick succession.

The redwing's song is a series of melodic, flute-like notes that are often described as "liquid" or "warbling." The song usually consists of a series of clear, high-pitched notes, followed by a series of lower-pitched notes. The redwing's song can be heard in the breeding season and is usually given by the males as they defend their territory.

The redwing's vocalizations are an important means of communication for the bird, and they play a crucial role in attracting a mate and defending territory. The alarm call is an effective way to alert other birds of potential danger, and the song is used to attract a mate and establish territory during the breeding season.

It's important to note that it's illegal to hunt, trap or kill redwing birds, it's protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which makes it illegal to pursue, hunt, take, capture, or kill migratory birds.
