ID tip
Voice: In duets, males trill and females whistle. Females produce longer and lower-pitched notes. Chubb's cisticolas also sometimes sing in choruses of up to five; this is most common at the end of breeding season. Solo singing is very rare. Duets and choruses are likely primarily for the purpose of territorial defense.
