Today, walking back early from my local oval I was in the middle of Cockatoo crazy hours as dozens of them were squawking, swooping around, hanging upside down from branches and generally having an erect-crest time.
In the middle of all this a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets flew into a eucalypt uttering their usual screeching noises, but after a moment or two both of them produces sounds I have never heard lorikeets making before, I can only describe it as a sort cross between
a screech and a wail. I assume they were trying to imitate the Cockatoos that were carrying on around them.-- John Leonard
