Arfak catbird
The Arfak catbird (Ailuroedus arfakianus) is a species of bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchidae) which can be found in the Bird's Head (Vogelkop) Peninsula in western New Guinea.

Bird
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves, characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton.
Black-capped catbird
The black-capped catbird (Ailuroedus melanocephalus) is a species of bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchidae), native to southeastern New Guinea.

Black-eared catbird
The black-eared catbird (Ailuroedus melanotis) is a species of bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchidae) which can be found northern Queensland, Australia, and New Guinea, including its surrounding islands.

Bowerbird
Bowerbirds make up the bird family Ptilonorhynchidae.
Catbird
Several unrelated groups of songbirds are called catbirds because of their wailing calls, which resemble a cat's meowing.
Clade
In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Greek language
Greek (Elliniká,; Hellēnikḗ) is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, native to Greece, Cyprus, Italy (in Calabria and Salento), southern Albania, and other regions of the Balkans, the Black Sea coast, Asia Minor, and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Green catbird
The green catbird (Ailuroedus crassirostris) is a species of bowerbird found in subtropical forests along the east coast of Australia, from southeastern Queensland to southern New South Wales.

Huon catbird
The Huon catbird (Ailuroedus astigmaticus) is a species of bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchidae) which can be found in northeastern New Guinea.

Monogamy in animals
Monogamous pairing in animals refers to the natural history of mating systems in which species pair bond to raise offspring.

Morphology (biology)
Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.

New Guinea
New Guinea (Hiri Motu: Niu Gini; Papua, fossilized Nugini, or historically Irian) is the world's second-largest island, with an area of.
Northern catbird
The Northern catbird (Ailuroedus jobiensis) is a species of bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchidae) which can be found in central-northern New Guinea.

Ochre-breasted catbird
The ochre-breasted catbird (Ailuroedus stonii) is a species of bird in the family Ptilonorhynchidae.

Pair bond
In biology, a pair bond is the strong affinity that develops in some species between a mating pair, often leading to the production and rearing of young and potentially a lifelong bond.
Phylogenetics
In biology, phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms.
See Ailuroedus and Phylogenetics
Sexual dimorphism
Sexual dimorphism is the condition where sexes of the same species exhibit different morphological characteristics, particularly characteristics not directly involved in reproduction.
See Ailuroedus and Sexual dimorphism
Spotted catbird
The spotted catbird (Ailuroedus maculosus) is a species of bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchidae) which can be found in north Queensland, the eastern Moluccas and New Guinea.
