Hi Bill
The calls of both ravens vary enormously. They both can wail. But with Little
it tends to be a much shorter wail. The main difference is the tone of the
call. Australians have a higher pitch, Little is quite low (Forest lower
still). Kev

They had the Aussie wail, but it was just not like the ones you hear north of
Bendigo. If I had have been up there when I heard them I would have said it's a
couple of Aussies with a sore throat.
