Meet Cuban Tody - One Of The Most Beautiful Birds In The World

Cuban todies make three sounds, a totting sound that is very common, a second sound that is not as common but which has a shorter lower frequency and a third sound that is created from the movement of the wings (Ornithology). The tody's high pitched voice has a rapid sound like that of an alarm, a sharp repetitive tot-tot-tot sound (Hand book of Birds). Between eastern and western Cuban todies there is a variation of songs that is thought to be genetically determined (Eneider and Emmanuel).
