Not to be confused with the Three-Wattled Bellbird from Central America. At close range, the male's song is a complex three-part tune, with the final "bonk" giving the bird its name. This "bonk" is thought to be among the loudest bird calls on Earth, audible to humans from more than a half mile away.
