I mean, I’m cold-blooded, but there’s a limit.

    Okay, how does a little kiwi sound like a giant dinosaur? And the shoebill, who truly looks like a dinosaur, just claps his beak at you.

    The woodcock looks like he’s shrugging. Meh.

    I love Mourning Dove calls. I like to sit on my parents’ deck and listen to them in the trees.

      I like the Awebo trying to warn us all about a werewolf.

      And the Australian magpie making futuristic modem noises.

        omg, I had to go back and listen again. He does sound like he’s saying werewolf.

          I think it sounds like he’s saying Awebo!

            Same here. Why not call out your own name?

    I love the sound of a Loon calling it brings me back to fishing trips to the Mauricie region with my father when I was a child.

      I remember my parents watching CBS Sunday Morning when I was a kid and they always had the nature scenes at the end. I distinctly remember loons on the lake.

    That poor lizard! Hope it recovers. And Cipi is so lucky to be home with the family.

    I cannot *wait* to get home for the animal sounds. I’m still laughing over the last one.

    I did not realize until I watched the video that it was mourning doves making that sound! Awesome!

      I have been listening to them all my life and it was only a few years ago I finally found out what kind of bird it was.

      I was leaving for work one day last summer and there was one just standing in the middle of the intersection in my complex. I carefully turned around him and he just walked off. I think it’s the first time I’ve actually seen one in real life. Occasionally I’ll hear one on my roof and it’s so close to the vent that it sounds like it’s in my furnace closet. 😄

    I have never seen a potoo before,

    its like Fisher-Price tried to recreate an owl.

    FWIW, if that’s an Australian magpie (and I think it might be), it and the lyrebird can sound like anything they want to. I guess they do have a natural call? But they’re mimics, so if they’re exposed to a sound–another bird’s call, or in the famous case of the lyrebird filmed by David Attenborough, a chain saw and an automatic film rewinder–they can reproduce it.
