Was talking to long-time local farmer on Sunday and pointed out a Koel and how they're called storm-birds, to which he replied: "Yeah, Politician Bird - promise you everything and deliver nothing." :-) A newie on me, so asked him how long they'd been called that around here and he said that's what a friend at nearby Murphys Creek decided to call them a couple of weeks ago. If he came up with it himself, he's brilliant! And the way things are going, I think it will stick!
