    Default Dart frog calls in "The Mission" movie

    I'm watching the film "The Mission" and you can hear Dart Frogs calling when Robert De Niro is pulling his punishment bundle up the mountain/through the rain forest. Sounds like a thumbnail.

    In the introduction to Dance of Death on Iron Maiden's live album Death on the Road, you can hear the calls of Hyla versicolor and Pseudacris crucifer.

    Tom - South America.

    I've heard Hyla versicolor in many places. There's an advert for Tampax (of all things) in the US right now with a Hyla versicolor call in it.

    Haven't seen that one.

    Its funny, Iron Maiden recorded Death on the Road in Dortmund, Germany, I wonder how many people in the audience knew what those frog calls were.

    Kerry you are just jealous that you can't identify the sound of frogs in the back ground .

    No Tom, I just have a life outside of amphibians!!!

    Only joking, I would love to be able to identify frogs by their call, but first I want to get to grips with identifying more British birds by their call!

    Don't those birds have British accents? Americans find that accent very sexy.

    Can't imagine bird song being particularly sexy Kurt, but each to their own. You Yanks, whatever next?

    There was a joke in there. I used to watch the Young Ones and Bottom, and they referred to women as birds. I assumed it was British slang. Of course if you have to explain the joke its not funny.
