night parrot on brighton downs

[Lawrie Conole <>]

As Graeme has suggested ... if you hear one, and you are vaguely attuned to
bird calls, you'll know.
I believe I've heard the NP in breakaway/spinifex country SE of Cloncurry
in NW Qld.  The call has stuck in my head these last few years, and it's
much as has been described.

... *Thanks to Young’s 2013 recordings, scientists knew that the night
parrots have a two-syllable call, a cadence described by Murphy as roughly:
“ding-ding.” But the parrot they tracked roosted with another bird that had
a three-syllable call: “ding de-ding.”* ...
