Native Australian Bird Sounds

Native Australian bird sounds are a joy to listen to, especially at the beginning of a fine new day.

The best loved native Australian bird sounds would incliude the Kookaburra which changes the pitch of his loud "laugh" as it echos through the gum trees. That laugh is the best-known of all Native Australian bird sounds, yet it can be heard repeatedly on the soundtrack of old Tarzan movies!

The list of native Australian bird sounds includes red Rosellas and green Lorikeets, delightful small parrots, which flash by you in colorful pairs. They make little tinkling noises to each other, and are grain and honey eaters.

A list of Australian birds would be a very long one because we have so much bird life here, even in the city. Native Australian birds call out through the trees and rooftops all day. They are one of the most delightful experiences of being here in Oz. (Oz = Aussie. .. just part of Australian slang.)

The black and white Australian magpie is a carnivore and very territorial. They have a delightful warble, which is slightly different but recognisable from group to group in different areas of the country. And the black bodied and white chested Currawong another of the native Australian birds has a totally different call. They have bright yellow eyes and eat berries and insects. These are some more native Australian bird sounds you can expect to hear.

You may just be interested to know that kookaburra and currawong are Australian Aboriginal names. The language uses many syllables. Many place names in Australia, such as Kirribilli (the suburb in Sydney where the Australian Prime Minister lives), are Aboriginal words.
