They are outstanding singers. Which is often the case with drab birds. Also, read a paper a year of so ago proposing that our sub-species in Tasmania had changed form so much from the mainland species that it was questionable as to whether they had actually speciated completely. Here's one with a more olivacious back. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/2727002
