Sun Chong Hong made an earlier post on the vocalisation of the Oriental Magpie Robins (Copsychus saularis) at his condomonium. He now has recorded a video of the bird that came very close to him. The male Oriental Magpie Robin was actively foraging for earthworms. According to Chong Hong, “The sound track of the calls of two Oriental Magpie Robins (there is one in the background) in this video has been added from a separate recording.”

Hi, i noticed that the vocalisation sounds are echoing one another. Is this a result of the 2nd bird responding to the first bird’s call in a similar way or just an effect of the recording? Just curious 🙂

Thanks for the query, Hui. Chong Hong will be providing a detailed explanation to your query that will be posted separately.
