I was tape-recording an Olive-backed Oriole in Pinus taeda plantations (Dec. '73). It was warbling away in what I think is regarded as sub-song and there was quite a bit of mimicry. Unwisely it included butcherbird threat calls - which a butcherbird certainly recognised and chased it vigorously, with snapping beak, through the forest!

Red Wattlebirds respond to playback of calls of Regent Honeyeaters' mimicry of Red Wattlebirds and Little Wattlebirds. I point out that I don't do that experiment to locate Red Wattlebirds, just to check if the model recognises the sound. I haven't tried the same experiment on Little Wattlebirds.
