“…In Lybius torquatus, L. vieilloti, L. guifsobalito, L. (Tricholaema) lacrymosus and Trachyphonus darnaudii duetting at periodic intervals has been reported, and duetting is suspected in other species known to give long series of double notes (Lybius leucocephalus, L. melanopterus, and L. minor); these songs are described by Mackworth-Praed & Grant (1957, 1962, Chapin (1939), Moreau & Moreau (1937), and Albrecht & Wickler (1968). Duetting by male and female of a pair has also been noted for the tropical American barbets Dicrorhynchus frantzii and Semnornis ramphastinus (Skutch 1944, Eaton, in Dilger 1953, and two Indian barbets Megalaima virens and M. haemacephala (Osmaston 1941, Dilger 1953. The descriptions of songs of two of the African barbets suggest that calling rhythms of the two duetting birds are different from each other.…”
