A Science study of deception by flexible alarm mimicry in an African bird, the fork-tailed drongo. The companion cites it for the drongo's habit of switching calls when a target stops responding, and for the limit that it can lie only so often before it is ignored. It frames fraud by agents as theft by false signal.
