Shama Thrush
(scientific name): White-Rumped Shama

This bird is probably the most beautiful songbird that was introduced to the islands. Its voice is rich, load and clear. Basically it can mimic all the other birds' calls. Thus, when you listen for this bird in the forest, you must not listen entirely for the song, but instead for the sound of the voice; deep and rich.
