As spring approaches, many Australian birds will be ramping up their songs! Over the next month or so on my Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/wildambience), I’ll feature a bunch of beautiful, unusual, iconic or otherwise interesting Australian bird sounds.

One of Australia's unique avian voices - the song of a male Brown Songlark. A melodic jumble of electric buzzes & scratchy metallic notes, it has been described as sounding like a wheel squeaking on a rusty axle!

The iconic call of the Whistling Kite is a classic Aussie bird sound. Hearing it always reminds me of trudging around wetlands in tropical northern Australia! #birds #wildoz

One of Australia’s silliest bird sounds – the calls of the Wompoo Fruit Dove. Despite the lack of vocal grace, they are still one of the world's most beautiful pigeons!
In this sample a group of Wompoo Fruit Doves were having strange gargling conversations while tucking into some rainforest fruit.

Predawn song of a Pied Butcherbird in early spring. Before sunrise at this time of year the song of butcherbirds (and Australian Magpies) is often made up of simpler, more repetitive phrases than the typical full song heard later in the morning - but it's still sublime!

Was nice to hear and record the mournful call of the Common Potoo on my recent trip to Ecuador. These strange-looking birds look almost like cartoon characters with their huge bulging eyes!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been hearing this monotonous sound from my backyard in Sydney’s inner suburbs!
Tawny Frogmouths are superbly camouflaged nocturnal birds & are often overlooked during the day.

Afternoon storm at a Lesser Bird-of-Paradise lek in the New Guinea rainforest. Soon afterwards it started to bucket down & it was a mad scramble to pack up & make the dash back to camp - we got drenched but it was worth it to see these incredible birds displaying!

Rumble in the jungle! The cassowary makes the lowest frequency sound of any bird. An incredible sound to hear in the wild, you feel it as much as you hear it! You'll need decent speakers or headphones to appreciate the low frequency here www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy-9...

I have a love/hate relationship with cassowaries. Wonderful birds, until they walk straight at you with that unnerving look in their eye! This Northern Cassowary in West Papua rounded me up in the forest the day after this photo was taken & I ended up shielding behind a tree with heart pumping😅
