Very good Harv, although as a matter of fine-tuning it is ‘Boy
come here’. I doubt the function is as Philip suggests, if only
because energy levels would be low at the time. The performance this
morning was 0442-0451.

think that the sound Geoffrey is describing is what the female of the Pied
Currawong pair nesting in the tree in my yard uses as a copulation invitation
call.
Which fits very nicely with my Mother's description of the
call (from Sydney many years ago - she had no idea what was making it) as
"come-here-boy"!
