A field study in Canberra found that Superb Fairywrens that lived in areas frequented by Noisy Miners ( Manorina melanocephala ) recognised miner alarm calls and took flight, and had learnt to ingore their non-alarm calls, while those that live in areas not frequented by Noisy Miners did not respond to miner alarm calls.

Superb Fairywrens are predominantly insectivorous.

A field study in Canberra found that Superb Fairywrens ( Malurus cyaneus ) that lived in areas frequented by Noisy Miners recognised miner alarm calls and took flight, and had learnt to ignore their non-alarm calls, while those that live in areas not frequented by Noisy Miners did not respond to miner alarm calls.
