You're probably familiar with the high pitched, annoying whine of tinnitus.
It's annoying... As if I need to tell you... ha ha.
Now, imagine that tone, only slightly lower.
But just as persistent, and just as annoying...
I thought that one of the starlings had got stuck, mid song, ha ha.
It's a really annoying sound...
Piercing, unrelenting...
At the risk of understating things, or repeating myself, it's annoying... ha ha.
Following some investigation (quietly opens back door and looks in the direction of the sound... very scientific, I know...), it turned out to be a baby rainbow lorikeet.
A little, three quarter sized rainbow lorikeet, just like an adult, only smaller, but no less annoying when it comes to the amount noise they make! ha ha.
So now I know, and I can add that to my "What annoying noise is that?" notebook... ha ha.
If I remember I'll get back to you in five or six week's time (as a generous estimate), and whine about the noise that baby magpies make, and let's say December/January, if memory serves correct, for the baby galahs... ha ha.
As for the cockatoos, I'm not sure if they hold to a specific breeding season - I never know when the next rasping, gurgling serenade will come from out the front (followed, not too many days after, by someone stomping around on the roof, and bellowing for a parent, any parent, to come and feed it, ha ha).
