		White-winged choughs (Corcorax melanorhamphos, Corcoracidae) are a common, breeding resident in and around the city of Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory.
		We compared five measures of reproductive success between the urban and non-urban populations of choughs to investigate the effect of urbanization on this cooperatively breeding species.

	The effects of habitat fragmentation on dispersal
		In Australia, loss and fragmentation of woodland habitats has resulted in the widespread decline of many bird species in cropping and livestock-grazing regions.
		White-winged choughs (Corcorax melanorhamphos) have recently been identified as sensitive to habitat fragmentation (Watson 2000), and are one of a large group of woodland bird species that are thought to be on the decline (Birds Australia 2002).

	Science: Overstretched parents kidnap their child minders - 12 October 1991 - New Scientist
		This at least is the strategy of the white-winged chough, a bird which raids neighbouring groups for its kidnap victims (Animal Behaviour, vol 41, p 1097).
		A relative of the crow, the white-winged chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos) is unable to rear its young without help.
		At least four adults are needed to raise a bird to the age when it fledges.

	White-winged Chough - BIRD
		The White-winged Chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos) is one of just two surviving members of the family Corcoracidae, the Australian mud-nest builders, and the only member of the genus Corcorax.
		Choughs are easily recognised but often mistaken for "crows" — a double mistake, as the birds most frequently called crows in southern Australia are actually ravens.

		Change in vocal structure during development was investigated in two large Australian passerines, a corvid, the Little Raven Corvus mellori and a corcoracid, the White-winged Chough Corcorax melanorhamphos.
		Begging calls in both species were harsh vocalisations covering a wide frequency range.

	Birds as Builders
		Some examples of cup mud nests in trees are the Magpie Bird, Grallina cyanoleuca, and the Willie Wagtail, Rhipidura leucophrys, from Australia.
		Two other Australian birds, both communal breeders, the Apostle bird, Struthidae cinerea, and the White-winged Chough, Corcorax melanorhamphos, also build mud nests.
		In East Africa the Spotted Morning Warbler, Chichladusa guttata, also builds cup nests.
