Fwd: beware the advance of the channel-bill

[Des Clark-Walker <>]

Dear All,

You may be interested in this exchange with my daughter Roz.  There is a report of a Koel

and a site for calls of common birds.

Hi Dad,

 

I listened to the call of the channel billed cuckoo from this website:

 

http://birdsinbackyards.net/feature/top-40-bird-songs.cfm

 

and you’re right – it is most annoying! :0

 

I still think the koel might top it though. I was playing the koel sound to David here at work, and another staff member was walking by. She said that for the last week they have had a koel in Higgins. The invasion has started!

 

Love Roz

Hi Roz, 

 

As well as putting up with your favourite bird the Koel, you may have to tolerate the channel-billed 

cuckoo as it appears to be spreading. Adrian said he saw one at Rosedale last year.

 

Love,  Dad.
