    Evolutionary ecology of multiple ornaments in the golden whistler
    van Dongen, Wouter Frederik Dirk ( 2005-12)
    The function of multiple display signals in golden whistlers (Pachycephala pectoralis) was investigated over three field seasons (2001/02 – 2003/04) at Toolangi State Forest (Victoria, Australia).

In addition, they are highly vociferous and possess large song repertoires. (For complete abstract open document)
