Observation details
Contributed for the female bird song project: femalebirdsong.org. Extracted from 120 min dawn chorus ambience recording. Vocalisations similar to alarm calls heard from females but continued for over 7 minutes. On consultation with Dr Anastasia Dalziell and Fiona Backhouse (PhD candidate on M. alberti display under Dr Dalziell, and from my experience of shorter female vocalisations of this species, consensus view is that this is a female bird. Distant male whistle song is also heard in recording and gronking song (again presumably from male). Out of breeding season behaviour. This recordings includes crimson rosella mimicry.
