There is a distict difference between "calls" and "songs"! Sounds like you are
talking about songs and not calls?

Subject: Re: [Birding-Aus] Gerygone calls
Evan and all,
I don't agree that the Western Gerygone's call is like an unfinished
version of the White-throated. They are definitely quite distinct and
recognisable. They start similarly, but the Western sort of goes off
on a tangent and as Paul Taylor described, rambles upwards and
downwards without the long descending section.
The White-throated does sometimes "not finish" their call, at least
I've sometimes heard them do just the first few notes and then stop.
Cheers,
Carol
