Limited Repitoire

Hummingbirds have limited vocalization ability. The sounds they produce using their voice are limited to buzzes and chirps but are far from complex. They do not sing complex song patterns. They can use their wings to produce a humming sound and can snap their wings to produce clicks, pops, and other sounds.
