About These Birds

Pitcairn Reed-warbler

The Pitcairn Reed-warbler (<em>Acrocephalus vaughani</em>) is a member of the family Acrocephalidae and is endemic to forest habitats on Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific. It represents one of several island-endemic reed-warblers that have adapted to arboreal forest environments. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature. It constructs a cup nest (CP), with incubation lasting approximately 14 days and a notably broad fledging period of 14 to 29 days, suggesting variable developmental rates. …

African Yellow Warbler

The African Yellow Warbler is a small, reed-dwelling warbler of the Acrocephalidae family, weighing about 12 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. It inhabits reedbeds and rank vegetation near water in eastern and southern Africa, producing a buzzy, chattering song from dense cover.
