Terribilis Call

For sure...
One of the nicest calls too.

I particularly like the full body spasm that comes with the calling! They tend to look like they are convulsing.

Great my sister will be so happy.
Her's are creeping up on about 16 months old so she is hoping for some calling soon.
Thanks for the link

LOL! Yea I like it when they're sitting and calling on a leaf, and the whole thing shakes.

FYI porkchop, the females sometimes go through the motions(spasm thing) but make no sound.
Just didn't want you or your sister to get freaked out about it if you see it. Play the calls for
the mints and see how the react. It might be just what a 16month old needs to get started. Their
reactions to the call will help to determine their sex.

Mine were about 3 years old before they started to call, and now they do a lot of it. The females do make some response noises when following the male, as well. It's sort of like little chirrups from what I've observed.

Yes, you can hear them! I will prove it to you.
