Media notes
two birds vocalising: one bird had caught a very large green grasshopper and was in the process of softening it up (by bashing) and swallowing it, this bird made the softer calls, perhaps holding the prey item affected the type of vocalisation possible; the other louder calls (as at 0:09 and 0:14) are by the other bird (possibly the first one's mate, sibling, or offspring) who seemed to be requesting the food to be shared; no food was shared and the bird who caught the prey ate all of it
