The Southern Cassowary's call is apparently the lowest frequency known sound from any bird (if you can think of another contender I'd be interested to hear about it).

I recorded this sample from a captive bird in a wildlife park near Sydney - all I had on hand was my Canon DSLR and this is the resulting audio file, not great but I was happy that the miniature mic even picked it up. Make sure you have decent speakers or headphones for this one - https://soundcloud.com/wildambience/southern-cassowary-casuarius

Hearing the call close up is incredible - sounds more like an large mammal than a bird!
