Birdsong sounds
We can:
cackle like a Kookaburra,
hoot like an owl,
coo like a dove
or cluck like a fowl.
But some bird sounds
need whistling skills,
to copy Willie Wagtails
or Fairy-Wren trills.
While other birdsongs
are too hard to do –
screeching like Galahs
hurts my voice box too!
inspired by the Birds In Backyards website, where you can listen to 40 different Australian backyard birdsongs:
