I should begin by saying I enjoy having wild birds around and I encourage them to visit my yard. There is "forest" behind my house, (Brisbane), and I see all kinds of local birds from time to time.
However, there is one bird which has recently taken up residence in the area, and his call is driving me nuts!
I first noticed it a couple of months ago. It drew my attention because it was quite loud and insistent, and also because it was the same four-note sequence as that old Christmas carol, "Carol of The Bells". I found a Youtube of it, so you'll get what I mean.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq73h6XZQGA
At first I was amused that a bird could create such pitch-perfect notes repeatedly. But lately it seems to have moved house and now lives directly opposite my house. Its call is now very loud, and, worst of all, it starts up at 6 every morning!! Wakes me up every day! Very annoying.
What I'd like to find out is its species, so that maybe I can find a way to discourage it or make it go find somewhere else to live. I've never actually seen the bird, so I have no idea what it is. I get Magpies, crows, yellow-eyes, lorikeets, Rosellas, and some tiny green guys. But I don't think the call is coming from any of them.
Hope someone can help me out here.
Thanks. |=)|
