Guys,

I know it's not a budgie, and this may be a longshot but I am just wondering what type of bird this big fella is:

Not the best of photos, but I can tell you that it is making a call that sounds almost exactly like a puppy. In-fact until earlier this week, that's exactly what we thought it was and I nearly made a fool of myself with a neighbour.

I appears it might be a Red Wattlebird.

is the 'cry'

Very cute bird, but hopefully not around for too long!

Not at all, Off Topic Chatter is exactly where to put it. :)

It's a very nice looking bird. I think they are saying it's a "Koel", and that the Wattlebird is just parenting it.

So is it a Red Wattlebird or a Koel?

Does anyone know when it might be a little more quiet?
