    Bit of an outrage that Noisy Friarbirds aren’t on the list - guess they aren’t native enough given they’re also in Papua New Guinea. I love those guys.

    Had to vote for the Butcher Bird, Magpie, and the Banjo Frog. We get the banjos around our place and they really do sound like a banjo playing when there’s a few of them on the go. Very Deliverance.
