Seen more often than heard, it is a dark olive-green and black in colour with a distinctive white cheek patch and crest. The Eastern Whipbird is generally shy, and is heard much more often than seen. Its long drawn out call Explain.
Clive Robertson mentioned this in an interview, it struck me as an interesting thing that's also valid for an encyclopedia if only a good reference could be found. Sorry for not being the guy to actually do the work...
"For example, to my left is a whip bird. It's a male whip bird. It goes "whit". The females go "whit whit", and if she doesn't do it quickly, the male bird does it instead of her, but they have fights sometimes because he does it very quickly and she says "wait for me, wait for me"." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.240.181.41 (talk) 11:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
