Yes I agree
Noisy Miner Alarm Call. I have had them use it on the other side of Melbourne
- for Wedge-tailed Eagle, Black Falcon, & Collared Sparrowhawk in the last
month. I also had them using it and scaring all the Rainbow Lorikeets and Musk
Lorikeets out of the trees when an Australian White Ibis was going over at
600m. Guess they do not have binoculars and so sosmetiems make mistakes.
