Whistler

Japanese: whistler
Whistler

...A general term for birds of the passerine order, family Muscicapidae, subfamily Pachycephalinae. Because their cry is a whistle, they are also called whistlers or bellbirds in English. They also have large, round heads, so are called thickheads, and some species have beaks similar to those of a shrike, so they are also called shrike-thrush.

*Some of the terminology that mentions "whistler" is listed below.
