    They are by far the best singing birds in Aus, especially the first 10 minutes of every day, at roughly 5:50am just before sunrise these birds produce the best 10 minutes of songbirding on the planet, then the rest of the time they sound like in this video. That first 10 minutes though is beyond amazing. 4:26 it's almost like that but it's still a bit different and better

    Leave the butcher birds alone, we all know what humans do to their prey

    I love how individually, these birds choose to sing in minor. It adds mystery to them, and it suits them especially when they start singing at 5 in the morning or whenever the sky starts to blue.

    1:20 Bass drop! 😄 Should be called the composerbird or at least pied piperbird. Such a clumsy name. The German one is even worse: Schwarzkehl-Krähenwürger (blackthroated crowretcher). And the latin one - Cracticus nigrogularis - sounds quite dreadful, too.

    I've been searching for a particular bird call my whole life, and I have never been able to figure out what it is. I've always called the bird the "birthday bird" because when I was a kid and would wake up super early and excited on my birthday, I would hear it. While I'm not 100% convinced, I thiiiiink it might be the butcherbird.

    An unfortunate name for such beautiful birds, and they love Chopin, but sometimes they leave a bird carcass in thanks, but aren't humans much worse than that?

    I was so freaked out when I watched a scary movie and started hearing these 4 whistling notes in the morning and only after my husband left for work, there they'd be "doo...DOO...Doo...doo...." just like the beginning of the video, I'm so relieved it was these fellas and not the dead little girl who might be coming to kill me in seven days or something 😭 they can sound pretty paranormal if you've never heard them before!

    It's similar to how magpies sound, pretty cool. I think they're also close cousins to magpies.

    That’s a different tune again! I’ve been noticing the different tunes of butcher birds between the Central Coast & Hornsby area birds. What an amazing bird. I need to look up the native song of the Lyre bird as I’ve only heard the imitated sounds, which is mind blowing how they can mimic power tools, people chatting & other household sounds, amazing.
