影音備註

A female bronze sunbird, perched on a low branch (in a tree full of bulbuls) was singing in duet with a male. She remained stationary, while the male flitted around from branch to branch in a rough 2m-diameter circle around her. Her song lingers longer on the low, drawn out churrups than her male companion. The best example of this is found from 15" to 25" in this recording. The male can be heard responding at 17" and 20", sounding quieter because he is slightly farther away at that particular time. At the same distance, he is louder than she is. The chatter of common bulbuls can be heard throughout (e.g. at 11", and occasionally they would interact with the male as he flitted about.
