From memory, I believe that some NHH in the Gardens were colour-banded
for a study having to do with species ability to use effectively the
alarm calls of other species. This included, I vaguely recall, the
ability to interpret alarm calls to the level of the kind of predator
the birds were calling about. Thus, for example, could a Superb
Fairywren work out whether a NHH was calling about a Brown Goshawk or a
Brown Snake and tailor evasive behaviour accordingly?
