Ground Parrot possible at Little Desert?

["Edwin Vella" <>]

I have been fooled by Tawny-crowned Honeyeaters making very similar
calls as the Ground Parrot on Bruny Island in Tasmania and eventually
actually saw one of these TCHE's make this call. Though the habitat
looked right for both species. 

I would recommend birdos to take care when they hear something that
sounds like a Ground Parrot in heath.

Hi,

I didnt see the bird, but I think I may have heard its
call. I am definitely not expert in bird calls, but I thought I had
heard 
the sound somewhere before, but couldn't recall it.
When I got back home and played back my "Birds of Tassie CD"
which has Ground Parrots, I found that it was the Ground Parrot
I thought it was like. Does anyone know if there is anything even
remotely similar to Ground parrots call at the Little Desert?
All I recall are series of squeaks/whistles, slowy rising in
frequency, then repeated. It was also in the afternoon, and not
dawn or dusk.
