Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)
Outer Suburban Melbourne, Australia
Pondering over a new title after recycling this from an earlier Challenge, I heard one of these characters
go past outside and the title presented itself. Their call is such a raucous, ear-splitting screech that
it grows on you in a warped, masochistic way, and you kinda miss it when they're not around! ;-)
If you're game, you can find long and short MP3 files of the call here. While you're in that
site, if you have time for just one other sample then do listen to our Eastern Whipbird.
