The call of the Black Francolin, described as a loud ringing klik cheek-cheek-cheerakik or "kik-kik-kik"," kwee-kweeeee-kwee" can be heard in the mornings and evenings and almost all day during the breeding season. The male calls standing on a earth mound, bund, rock or a low tree branch and is soon joined by other birds answering from all directions. Similar species: Gray Francolin has grey-brown and buff body, buff instead of black throat, and lacks rufous collar.

Famous quotes containing the word voice:

    And the voice of my spirit tallied the song of the bird.

    Come lovely and soothing death,
    Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving,
    In the day, in the night, to all, to each,
    Sooner or later delicate death.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    We live technologically, with man as the master of nature, man as the engineer, and let anyone who raises his voice against it stop using bridges not built by nature.... No electric light bulbs, no engines, no atomic energy, no calculating machines, no anaesthetics—back to the jungle.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    I
    Am found.
    O let him
    Scald me and drown
    Me in his world’s wound.
    His lightning answers my
    Cry. My voice burns in his hand.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
