They also use short, quick, and quiet contact calls to keep in touch with each other while foraging

Birds also chirp to indicate danger, warning, and communication. Mother birds use short chirps to keep tabs on their young while foraging

Chiding is a raspy, abrupt hiss-like or "tsssk" sound that signals anger, stress, or frustration

Each individual bird has its own unique "voice" that allows other members of its flock to recognise it
