The cockatoo.
They settle in groups on a tree and over the course of a few days they pick it to pieces.
They like to wake you up early and kookaburras are bastards for this also.
When they screech you can imagine the translation would be 'fuck you'.
I do like the fairy-wren, only a little bird.
The male is blue coloured and has a little harem of brown females.
He's constantly protecting them and often bashes the shit out of mirrors.
If you see two males, it's father and son, dad showing his boy the ropes.
Doesn't last long.
My parents used to pay good money to bring us to the San Diego zoo when I was wee fella. I always loved the call of the kookaburra. But in the morning, outside where I'm sleeping and without an off button? No, that would be too much.
Those are very noisy birds. But, I got to stand right next to one with it's zookeeper at Steve Erwin's zoo in Australia. They are pretty damned big too.
They sound like screaming chimps.
