Today I heard one common call that starts with two rising whistles and ends with a series of cherps.
Tweet Tweet, chu chu chu chu chu.
The second call starts with a series of rising whistle followed by 3 to 4 distinct falling whistles.
too-ee too-ee too-ee, choo, choo, choo
Is there a different meaning behind each whistle?

most birds have quite a repertoire. The males have a "song" that is used to advertise for a mate, but also as a signal to other males that "this territory is taken". Other calls include alarm calls, calls to communicate with a mate or fledglings, and most species also do a "chip" call.
