The Blue Whistling Thrush is presumably named for its loud human-like whistling, and possibly for being blue.

That was a wild cat, a wild Wildcat, the cat that lives in the wild because that is where it is from and where it belongs, at the southern end of its pan-African range that extended at one time well into Europe and Asia. In North America, you’ve got Bears at the large end, Cats in the middle, and at the smaller end, the Mustilids.
