Find out the Bird

In this quiz you have to give clues as to what bird you are thinking about so the clues should be for example- I live in Bushveld, I sing in unsion with my partner, i eat worms etc.

And we shall try and guess what bird it is you are talking about.

I shall start...

I am named after a town on the coast, i live in forest, i have a deep heart throbbing call, i eat fruit, i have dark maroon wings seen in flight.....What am i?
