Think you should add juvenile Pied Currawongs to the whining list, though I do agree that Galahs have possibly the most annoying juvenile call.

In my opinion, a juvenile Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo outdoes a baby Galah in volume, persistence and nasty, harsh, gagging tones, especially when it pauses for breath every now and then, and sounds like it is choking (one can only hope) then starts up again with its constant wheezing. They can go on for an hour at a time until the parents fly off to another Pine Tree. Sorry, but they make Baby Galahs sound relatively pleasant.
