I also recently learned this fact about the audio that really got to me. After the researchers recorded this, they played it back, then he excitedly flew over, thinking he just heard another ʻōʻō bird.

Sad Fact: The song he’s singing is supposed to be a duet.

The pauses in between the song are supposed to be where the female sings her part.
