Abstract
Summary Oatley, T. B. 1982. The Starred Robin in Natal, Part 1: Behaviour, territory and habitat. Ostrich 53:135-146. Starred Robins Pogonocichla stellata were studied in forests in the Natal midlands. Aspects of behaviour, including vocalizations and the use of plumage patterns in displays are described. Unlike many other forest birds the Starred Robin has a quiet song and is seldom aggressive toward conspecifics; males nevertheless effectively defend territories in the breeding season. Such areas invariably contain at least one thicket of dense undergrowth, and range in size from 0,50 to 0,75 ha. The extent of the territory and the effective range of the song are evidently related.
