Media notes
NOTES: (Number of Animals and Sex: adults, unknown sex; Social Contact: group; Breeding Status: not territorial) Local name "Merle". Field annotations included "no apparent reaction to playback" except possibly a [unreadable]. "Cat call" and "chuckle calls". Cat call apparently is a "contact call" - but is heard also when a group is feeding together. See page 122 of Vocalizations of the Endemic Land Birds in Mascarene Island Birds, ed. A. W. Diamond.
