The Uguisu, or Japanese Bush Warbler, is more often heard than seen. He is noted for his musical call, which heralds the spring. Unfortunately, his songmanship has led to males being captured and kept in a cage.He sings to attract a female, and her eggs are laid in a cup-shaped nest, well hidden in the thicket. His diet is predominantly insectivorous. His guano is used in face cream, and advertised to smoothen and illuminate the skin.
