CytokineStorm,

Sulphur Crested Cockatoo for that begging call that sounds identical to a truck reversing alarm.

I was prepared to be annoyed if the Gang Gang wasn’t in the list, but luckily the superior rusty gargling noise is in fact present.

I went Barking Owl cause we had one in our yard a little while back and that sound byte doesn’t do them justice.

Koel cause I hate them when you are trying to sleep in.

Moaning Frog because it’s so damn cute. And moaning.

2CatsOneBowl,

Curlew!

But it's so hard to choose. There are too many fantastic sounds.

Yup. Curlews definitely got my vote!

So did butcherbird and kookaburra. But if I had had to pick just one, definitely .

Bit of an outrage that Noisy Friarbirds aren’t on the list - guess they aren’t native enough given they’re also in Papua New Guinea. I love those guys.

Had to vote for the Butcher Bird, Magpie, and the Banjo Frog. We get the banjos around our place and they really do sound like a banjo playing when there’s a few of them on the go. Very Deliverance.

CytokineStorm,

Butcher birds are also in Papua. And there is a “butcher bird” that is more Magpie than Butchie in Papua too!

Gatopardo,

Kookaburra?
