drongo

1 Traditionally, the drongo perches above a crowd of foraging pied babblers and swoops in from time to time to steal its catch.

通常，卷尾燕栖息在斑点鹃种群的巢穴上部，一次又一次地俯冲下来偷取食物。

2 As the termites flew around the light, the drongo kept catching them for close to 20 minutes, until all vanished and the drongo disappeared.

3 But the rare thing was one black drongo bird among them.

4 The duped birds do eventually catch on, but the drongo has come up with a way to keep fooling them – and keep the free meals coming – by mixing up their mimicry.

5 But Aussies might want to reconsider their choice of words: According to a new study, the drongo may well be one of the brightest bulbs in the avian world.

6 By analysing the different drongo calls, Flower showed that the fake ones are indistinguishable from their genuine counterparts.

7 Sahas Barve, an evolutionary ecologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, has been taken in by a drongo mimicking an eagle; Sakata once mistook a mockingbird’s screech for a bona fide car alarm.

8 Forest specialists such as the Indian pitta, white-bellied drongo and common woodshrike were only seen in the riparian forests of Mangar Bani.

9 Mary: I suppose. I wouldn't want people to think I m a drongo or something.

玛莉: 我猜也是, 我可不想让人觉得我很笨还是什麽的.
