Hi everyone,
We all know the Asian Koel takes the prize as Singapore's Most Annoying Bird thanks to its stentorian cry as early as 5am. But there is another nearly-as-annoying bird that is unknown to me. A bird that is nearly as loud and just as likely to wake you up early in the day.
I'd like to know the name of this bird. But I'm at a loss as to how to describe it since I've never seen it. I can only say that it makes a loud, ascending whooping sound. About 4-6 whoops in succession raising in volume and tone, with the last few settling on its highest pitch:
whoop Whoop WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!
I've been Googling bird calls and everything comes up Asian Koel. I've never seen this bird I'm hearing so I don't know what it looks like. But it is a pretty common sound in wooded areas or even the parks in Singapore's city center.
Anyone have any guesses I can investigate with YouTube videos?
Thanks!
