Image Name Common name
Anthornis melanura New Zealand bellbird
†Anthornis melanocephala (extinct)[3] Chatham Islands bellbird


They are named bellbirds because their call sounds like a bell. Young male bellbirds copy the calls of neighbouring older males. Sometimes two males can sing in almost perfect unison because one has been copying the other.
