What’s the name of the song?

The sound of memories from walking in south Sydney to and from piano lessons on a Thurday evening as a child with my father, this sound will always stick out the most,

that's beautiful :)

ive heard some of them on my fence and their vocalisation is so beautiful, their repeative melody phrases are like nothing I've ever heard

I’m always hearing magpies and butcherbirds when the currawongs are about

I love how so many pied Aussie birds pitched in on this one

Four, five part harmonies, or more. Currawongs are sublime song birds - I adore them. Gorgeous backing harmonies from the magpies, bellbirds, and others. Gracias!!

The other birds chiming in and along, to augment and add to the majestic avian conservation.

I'd really like to get a playlist of the sounds of Australian native birds to play in the dementia wing where I work. Will chat to the DT about it. Was horrified the other afternoon to hear in the room of a lady who is bedbound ABC children's songs, that would be torture. Listening to bird song is so comforting

Please try and do this, even reading this comment makes me want to race to that ladies room and change the music to something her family knows she likes or bird sounds :) Thankyou so much for helping people with dementia I bet it’s hard sometimes but always remember it’s a beautiful thing you are doing! Bless you

I hear Magpies, butcher birds, bellbirds and Currawongs on this, together with the odd fly!. Great audio. Reminds me of camping thanks for posting..

Before I moved overseas I used to live in Canberra and every morning and afternoon I would hear these Currawongs and Magpie sing. Watching this vid helped me remember the serenity, thank you for the upload.

Glad you enjoyed the recording!

Love hearing the Currawongs in my neighborhood on the Gold Coast. They are definitely my favourite bird

I'd always hear their calls on camping trips, It sounds so beautiful.

One of those unforgettable, otherworldly experiences: one twilight I passed through a grassy enclosure, ringed by trees in leaf, and a flock of currawong flew in low (at eye level) circled about the trees, singing. The whole vibe of setting, late afternoon winter's light, wings and sound was quite eery - since then I have called them 'spirit birds'. If only I had had my camera...

Currawongs remind me strongly of my time at UNSW.

For the first time in 40 years I’ve never had Currawongs in southeast Queensland… until 2 years ago when they showed up I my back yard. Usually it’s full of butchers, pies, crows, kookas & minors. (I think a lots of southern bird became climate refugees after the horrendous bush fires from 2019/20) ( and then add closures of schools, parks, sports games ect ,,, there were a lot of scavengers at the outdoor events, they had to come to suburban regions. We’ve even had bin chickens in our back yard) But when these lovely Currawongs showed up they my heart melted. They visit most days and they are clever mimicking my version of a wolf whistle. When they brought 2 babies last summer, they seemed very proud to show them off to me. I feel very blessed to be sung to by nature every day 😺

I love these birds ! I feed a few of them sardines , morning and late arvo , and they are so excitable !! They sit near my back doors and wait , and when they see me coming they jump up and down and spin around like koooky little beings.....absolutely adorable !! Thank you for this wonderful clip xxx

I love how the grey butcherbird barges in the song at some points haha

I can actually hear them calling outside while watching this video

Love them so much, always makes me smile to hear them

I’ve noticed their call as soon as the lockdowns began in Melbourne in March 2020, I had never heard them in the suburbs of Melbourne, such a beautiful call.

It's a lovely call. They often sing in groups in the cooler months.

I work at the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba and at our Japanese Gardens we have dozens of Currawongs who when they all sing is glorious to listen to. I love it. Thank you for this.

I helped one of these guys after he fell out of his nest as a chick a few years back, he kept coming back for a few years until I came back to nz

Love these birds they wake me every morning and keep up the beautiful song for many hours. More bell tones in my local ones so delightful.

Such a beautiful song

Lol fly or bee in background also😂

It sounds like what I 'hear' when I imagine the sounds of a 'twang, reverberating/rippling of a frozen lake', which is strange, considering I've never see ice, living in South Australia.

This reminds me of my favourite place, famous for their australian wild life. And also my home, I hear magpies, currawongs and crows all the time here.

Dam , this takes me back to my childhood. Living on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales. A little town called Exeter. We had some very big trees in the property next, and these guys would sing their hearts out. ❤

I love Currawongs and their song. This is the sound of my childhood winters when the flocks would come down from the higher peaks.

Wonderful Currawongs, I miss them! I think I heard a Spangled Drongo in there too, lol. Thanks!

i remember hearing these in the morning all the time a few years ago.

Love the magpies warbling every morning. Had a visit from currawongs today, dont always see them, mores the pity!

Hanging around the bar, having a laugh. The real laughing bird (sorry Kookie).

Amazing calls, hearing this locally now in Williamstown

finally figured out the species of bird that was making these whistling melodies in my neighborhood. caught one of them doing it in the act and now i know

They're truly magical majestic creatures, I have two locals who visit me often for an occasional blueberry .🥰

@@inkedoutmiss Well done. I applaud you for saying “their real names”. So many people want to say “their traditional names” or “aboriginal names “ as if the whitefulla names are the only real names now. If it’s a native animal or plant, people should use the name according to the country they are on. That is the way to proper reconciliation.

Thank you. I've been hearing this bird-call for a rather long time and I've been wondering which one it is. The Pied Currawong can be quite elusive. Up until today, the closest I ever got to one was 150m. That was a couple years back. Before that, I'd never even been close enough to see them - only hear the call. That call sounds beautiful, to my ear, and it evokes lots of memories for me. Thanks again.

Beautiful ❤

My currawong just makes a woo sound very quietly

I saw one of these guys for the first time 2 days ago. There's a family of magpies who live on my street and when I go to the beach there's a chance the female is there, I named her Slavica and she eats out of your hand. While she was feasting on chicken meat another bird came and landed on a branch. I assumed it was her mate but I looked up and it didn't have white on the back of it's head so it was a currawong. Ravens don't come on my street but they come to the beach when I go because sometimes I bring grapes. I've seen 8 ravens at a time but they don't let me get close.

Update: A currawong showed up out of nowhere today and landed on the clothesline while I was giving out kosinyak to 2 crested pigeons. It tried some, had some rice and now I've given some ham for it. It's sitting ontop of this wooden thing at the back.

They are supposed to be pretty fearless but the couple that drop by seem really nervous. The first time I came up close to that yellow eye it was a bit confronting.

My bird loves this

That is so cool for a bird that also eats baby snakes!

Aussie bush sounds! I live right by the bush

reminds me of a cold day in the Australian mountains

ive been feeding magpies and spotted turtle doves (ocassionally crows and what i think are red wattyl birds) in my little yard in st kilda for the last 3 or so years and this afternoon a flock of these about 10 strong came to investigate, i get the feeling they are going to be come regulars from here on in yeah lol

2:25 lol the fly, good quality video though :)

I was hearing this call constantly in rural Victoria and wondered what the hell the bird was as I recognised the call but not what bird it was however I guess pied currawong I duno why and seems I guessed right then, thanks for confirming. It's voice certainly stands out amongst the magpies and parrots, almost eerie.

In the cooler months especially, they gang together and tend to be more vocal. They often have distinct 'regional' accents as well with some of their call types - I notice quite different call patterns in birds in the inner west of Sydney compared with populations only about 15km south.

@@WildAmbience Ah right yeh it isnt exactly like this video but I saw the birds in the trees and they had white flecks on their wings so I can recognise its the same bird cos of the unique pitch which the other birds of the area dont have, I mainly hear cockatoos, magpies, sometimes rainbow lorikeets, wattled honeyeaters and ofcourse the usual european settlers indian mynahs, blackbirds, gold finches and sparrows, none of which sound anything like this character although magpies are as unique too I guess with thier fluting call and I love the blackbird's evening song too.

I found out today that it is not only the beauty of it's form which is beneficial to the eye but the actual frequency of it's various sounds that are beneficial to our Chi. Unaware at home whilst practicing Golf I would here this sound not knowing the bird. Over time I would mimic it. It would chirp back at me, if around, louder and at a higher pitch each time. I have grown to love this bird the most and I love All birds.

You really have to be some kind of psycho to actually leave a thumbs down on this video!

hell yeah buddy, beepbeepbwarble

Always looking around when I hear a bird sound to find out what bird it is

i have a drone and i have this video of one of them flying next to/toward my drone, idk if they were just trying to say hi or if they were trying to attack it 😂

Apparently currawongs are coel's enemies.

I'm being difficult...But I would have like to see it calling actually! I just got one in my back garden and it does not do anything like this. Just single long calls repeated 2 or 3 times like a crying baby wanting attention? My magpie at the front of the house will carry on quite crazy with its calls and looking at the sky!

Try not to all them “magpies”. That’s the name of a European bird and it’s disrespectful to First Nations people to use these introduced names for native Australian animals. They already had names in 1788. Where I live, he’s called Garru. They will have a different name in different parts of Australia.
