The Veery thrush has the ability to produce a flute-like sound of 2 notes at the same time. [View all]
Veery - This small forest thrush gets its name from its ability to produce a flute-like sound of 2 notes at the same time.

The song of the Veery is one of the most magical and exquisite in the bird world. It is an ethereal downward spiral of flutey notes with an echoing, ventriloquial quality. Frank Chapman, the author of "Bird Life" (1897), had this to say about it: "The Veery's mysterious voice vibrates through the air in pulsating circles of song, like the strains of an Aeolian harp."
