I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'call' is the definition.
(as in a bird's call)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for cry that I've seen before include "Sob or shout" , "Sound of pain or grief" , "Shout - weep" , "Blubber" , "Shed tears" .)
