About the Ochre-breasted Catbird
The ochre-breasted catbird (Ailuroedus stonii) is a species of bird in the family Ptilonorhynchidae. It is found in southern New Guinea.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 3 recordings for this species: 2 CC BY-NC-SA · 1 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
