00:00When the first light of dawn begins to soften the sky, there is a voice that rises before
00:07nearly all others.
00:09It is a voice that signals morning, movement and life returning to the treetops.
00:15This voice belongs to the yellow-faced honey-eater, a small but spirited bird whose song is as
00:21lively as the sun rises itself.
00:24So let's listen the call first.
01:26This bird is known for being one of the earliest vocalists of the day.
01:33The yellow-faced honey-eater begins its chorus well before most birds even stir.
01:39The male especially is notable for launching into prolonged session of a song from his
01:45nightly roast, sometimes continuing for up to an hour and offered staring 20 to 30 minutes
01:51before dawn.
01:52His voice is bright and buoyant, flowing in a continuous string of entheosic notes.
01:59This energetic pattern is frequently described as chikup chikup, a sound that has earned
02:05the bird one of its traditional nicknames, quichup.
02:10But the performance does not happen in isolation.
02:14Nearby honey-eaters often respond with counter-syncing, closely mirroring one another's melodies.
02:21This back-and-forth exchanges can feel like a spirited musical conversation carried across
02:27the canopy.
02:28When the territory needs defending the tone changes, a firm and rising breed call is used
02:35to signal ownership and resolve, especially during face-offs with rivals.
02:41Should danger arise, the birds emit a sharp, vibrating whistle, an alarm that rings crisply
02:48through the surroundings.
02:49In everyday interactions, the bird communicates using a lively variety of two-note contact
02:56calls.
02:57Sometimes heard as trick-trick, or crook-crook-crook, or a prisk-putup-putup-putup.
03:03These calls help maintain cohesions as the birds forges and travel.
03:08So, altogether, the yellow-faced honey-eater voice is not just a song.
03:14It is a language, a system of signals that marks territory, warns companions, greet neighbors,
03:22and welcomes the comings of morning.
03:24So the next time dawn breaks and the world feels quiet and still, listen closely.
03:30Long before the day officially begins, the yellow-faced honey-eater is already awake, announcing
03:37the sun rise with the melody of its song.
