The subject is more complex than the question suggests. The South African bush hosts croaking corvids, harmonising antiphonal shrikes, shrieking parrots, raucous francolin, swizzling weavers and tweeting wagtails.
Calls seem to be adapted to distance, noise, obstacles, habit and competition. The most elaborate singers inhabit open bush, where their song can convey complex information over long distances. In thick bush, only deep ventriloqual notes such as those of the ground hornbill carry for any distance. White-eyes foraging among dense leaves cheep softly, keeping flocks together at short range.
