Feel free to call it a cis-ta-cola if you like Peter.
You would be consistent with the suggested pronunciation in the
Macquarie Dictionary and the cis-tic-ola mob will know what you are
talking about.

BOCA CDs and bird name pronunciations
I've just got a copy of the BOCA birdsong CD's. All safely ripped and
sitting on my phone now.
One thing I didn't expect to learn from them is bird name
pronunciation,
from the announcements at the start of each track. I can only assume
that these pronunciations have been researched and are correct. Can
anyone confirm that's true?
I saw my first Golden-headed Cisticola a few days ago, and I've been
telling people I saw something that rhymes with Coca-cola, but the CD
says sis-tickler. Is that how everyone else says it?
