    Storm Birds

    It's that time of year again! [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOYkmX0LD7Y[/ame]

    Very persistent buggers with their calls - they seem to go on for hours, often in the middle of the night.

    It's a Koel, they drive my wife batty. I don't mind them though. All the other birds hate them as they are a true cuckoo, that's why the female is so well camouflaged.

    They've been taking advantage of the Noisy Minors in the Bottle Brushes out the front of my place.

    I'd much rather something like that than the huge flocks of screeching bloody pink & greys we get around here.
    Cheers .........

    Noisy mynas seem to be invaded our place this morning, living up to their name.

    Ranga, you should have been here this afternoon not this morning. Standing outside 4 flew over very low and circled, I got a good view of them.

    This is the Brush Cuckoo which goes all night. We also have Channel Bill Cuckoo (google that call ) at present which our Maggies hate as the Maggies are the host nest.
    Very sad but, that's Nature I suppose.

    Channel Billed Cuckoos are also known as "Storm Birds" they have an awesome call. Much louder than the Koel. The love figs and you often find them in and around Moreton Bay Figs.
