Hi all,
It's a Superb Lyrebird, but I think you know that already.
By the way, after 16 years of researching koalas I have never heard a
koala do that call. Female koalas do make some screech-type calls but
their tone is quite different.
Thanks Tom for uploading it!

hi all,
I've been trying in vain to send a message here for over an hour but
such is internet reception in Cairns at times!!!
I was about to say that it sounds somewhere between a Sooty & Masked
Owl, but i'm with Greg & leaning more towards a Masked - I definitely
don't think that it's a Koala at all, but definitely a Tyto owl...
cheers,
martin cachard,
cairns

Whilst driving to the summit of Mt Donna Buang near Warburton, Vic on
Sunday 14 September I saw a bird making this call in response to a
'Feral'
cat, it becomes obvious what species it is near the end but (I think)
it
sounds remarkably similar to a 'Tyto' Owl. What do you think?
