By shaking its wings 100 times a second, the club-winged manakin can produce around 1,400 single sounds during that time. [5] In order to withstand the repeated beating of its wings together, the club-winged manakin has evolved solid wing bones (by comparison, the bones of most birds are hollow, making flight easier).
Many manakin species have spectacular lekking courtship rituals, which are especially elaborate in the genera Pipra and Chiroxiphia. The rituals are characterized by a unique, species-specific pattern of vocalizations and movements such as jumping, bowing, wing vibration, wing snapping, and acrobatic flight. [6]

Video of male club-winged manakin (Machaeropterus deliciosus) Shows use of secondary remiges to produce sound. Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology's American woodcock (Scolopax minor) recordings #94216 has a good example of the sounds made by remiges during courtship display flight, starting at about 2:32.
Wing feathers of a male club-winged manakin, with the modifications noted by P. L. Sclater in 1860 [4] and discussed by Charles Darwin in 1871. [5] The bird produces sound with its wings. Bird song is best developed in the order Passeriformes.

The anatomical parts used to produce sound are quite varied: the most common system is that seen in grasshoppers and many other insects, where a hind leg scraper is rubbed against the adjacent forewing (in beetles and true bugs the forewings are hardened); in crickets and katydids a file on one wing is rubbed by a scraper on the other wing; in ...
