About These Birds
Arfak Catbird
The Arfak Catbird is a large bowerbird relative from the Arfak Mountains of New Guinea, weighing about 231 grams. Unlike true bowerbirds, catbirds do not build bowers; instead, males call loudly to attract mates with harsh, cat-like vocalizations. It inhabits montane forest, feeding on fruit and small animals in the canopy.
Black-capped Catbird
The Black-capped Catbird is a bowerbird found in the rainforests of northern New Guinea and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia, with adults showing a distinctive black crown, green upperparts, and white-spotted green underparts. Unlike true bowerbirds, male catbirds do not build bowers and instead maintain long-term pair bonds. It feeds primarily on fruits and berries in the forest canopy.
