Hello all,
I'd second both of the previous suggestions. Sulphur-crested Cockatoo would
have to be among the loudest and all the quail-thrushes would qualify as
being hard to hear when they are giving contact calls.
I'd just like to add the emuwrens to the quiet list. Even their full song
is quite soft. As one of my hobbies is audio recordings I can definitely
say thay emuwrens are the hardest birds to get good recordings
of. Extremely frustrating! All I can say is that they must have great hearing.
Cheers

I take it that you mean, which bird is the hardest to hear when it is
calling at it's loudest? [Any bird can be quiet if it isn't calling or is
just burbling to itself]
If that is the case, one candidate would probably be the spotted quail
thrush, which has a high-pitched call that some people can't hear.
Regards, Laurie.
