Dale is right, but all birds have a dual voicebox; it's not unique to the Tui. They just don't necessarily all choose to harmonize with themselves. I'm saving up another spectacular example (my favorite birdsong) for when we get around to the Vs. Here's a nice article about birds and singing:
http://www.pbs.org/lifeofbirds/songs/index.html
that's a great article!
"Another performance ploy is to transmit the signal from above the vegetation by leaping up and calling from mid-air. The blue-black grassquit, a tropical grassland bird of South America, leaps clear of the grass during displays." coool.

How about Tufted Tit Mouse. Have those up home but we aren't there! Miss all the birds we see in the winter up North. See lots of Turkey Vultures down here too!

I hope that all of you have seen the whole series by Sir David Attenborough, called "Life of Birds"!! It's really amazing and really a "do not miss"!! If you haven't caught it on PBS, you can rent it!
The grassquit sounds very energetic! Perhaps it's jumping, not so much from the need to be heard and seen, but the need to avoid creepy crawly, biting things in the S. Africa grasses! That's why Canadian birds don't do that leaping about -- there's nothing here that's "to be avoided"! Makes our birds look lazy!! *grin*

Dale - Thanks for reminding me about them. Should I post the Kaver and the TV pic now? You know me, I have a hard time waiting.
