SHRIKES OF SOUTHERN AFRICA by Tony Harris & Graham Arnot
These fascinating birds are often visually or vocally conspicuous, their colours ranging from pure black, through combinations of black, white and brown to vivid yellow, green and red. Their calls vary from discordant shrieks to melodious whistles, certain species being renowned for their duet singing or their outstanding ability to mimic other birds. Their social organization and status are equally diverse. In Africa, which has an exceptionally rich variety of shrikes, they have radiated into most habitats, from arid semi-deserts to humid tropical forests
