This bird can mimic the alarm calls of many bird species and small animals (e.g., Meerkats etc.)  so as to scare them away and steal their prey.

It is aggressive and will mob birds of prey and large cats e.g., Leopards etc. In the ‘event’ above where there were bees around the 10th / 17th greens and an old hive outside the course at Zwartkop Country Club, it shows photos of a Greater Honeyguide who tried to ‘guide’ me down the 10th fairway towards this hive.
