Julian - One of the currawong calls around here sounds rather like a koel.
It is a 'koo-rerl' with a slightly longer second syllable. I think this is
the most likely explanation. I think all the koels have been gone for a
couple of weeks. g

Subject: Currawong koel?
at my grandparents house in holder, I heard what sounded like a koel
in the front yard while I was sitting on the porch reading. I walked
round the corner and it called again. I looked to my left and there
was a currawong in the tree. I searched the surrounding trees for the
Ko-el noise maker. nothing. as I went back to my book it came again.
could it have been the currawong calling? was the PC a hybrid or did
the koel lay it's eggs in the PC's nest and the young PC learnt the
call? the koel could have been hiding but When I double-checked, I
came up with the same results.
Has anyone got Ideas?
thanks,
Julian Teh
