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!

Brilliant Celia – and i particularly appreciated your reference to bird songs.Is a ‘magpie-lark’ what we in Vic call ‘mud-lark’ and NSWers call ‘Pee-Wit’? Thanks again, Virginia
