What bird is that?

We “had” one of these near us… It is no longer alive…. RIP.

It took one look at ‘the neighbours’ and committed suicide?

It’s now an EX-parrot.

Sorry to dig up an old post.

I have one of these fellas living near me at the moment. Am I the only one who enjoys his call?

I find it particularly amusing the higher pitched and more frantic the calls become but then he resets and begins again. Almost as if his prospective female has entered his area only to shy away at the last second.

I am able to sleep through the night calling most of the time though and can understand it would be pretty awful if you couldn’t. But I am loving waking to his calls.

That’s not the annoying bird near Dickson pool is it?

This is the one that sounds like the chime your fridge gives you if you leave the door open too long- or is that another pain in the arse bird I am thinking of?

I only read the first half pf the first sentence of the first paragraph, but I bet you’re hearing a koel.

This is also known as the “brain fever bird” as it will send you stone cold barking if one sets-up camp near your place for the steamy summer nights.

This subject is raised every year. Is there a psychologist out there who can tell us why the Koel’s call is so bloody annoying. Is it the sound or just our anticipation that it will go on and on and on and on?

I’m sure that the CIA has done research into that sort of thing…

Personally,I don’t mind birdsong. But that’s because it says I have to on my licence.

Someone’s a little tipsy. I meant to say that’s because it says I have to like it on my licence. Cheers.

Only tipsy? Not as p1ssed as a poet on pay day?

This thing you call a ‘pay day’ sounds interesting. But we poets know little of this custom, despite the primitive rhyme.

The best thing is that they fly back up north around March before i’ve gone cuckoo.
