I will never forget a very sad story involving this bird (only read if you are ready to be sad): Was staying on a campground and woke up midnight from the call of this bird, who just wouldn't stop. I went there to check. It was a bird mother and her chicks fell into the gutter. I lifted the gutter under the attack of the mother and tried to get them out but they went deep into the pipe, I waited hoping they would come out but they didn't, other people had a look as well, no solution was found, no hero story that day, just a bird mom calling for hours until it was eeriily quiet in the morning :'( Still makes me sad today and always remember, when I hear that call
The bird looks like a superhero wearing a mask with a couple of daggers on his wings. First time seeing this weird looking bird. Thank you for sharing! Amazing.
I play this on my phone at full volume in the morning to scare off all the birds that keep staring directly at my little Doodle. Scares the shit out of them!
As an Australian, travelling all over Australia, the annoying lapwing noises remind me of the martian vocalisations in the hilarious movie Mars Attacks!
Well, what I'd say to you is..........by making this video you are actually stressing them. Better to back off, sit down and offer them some worms or bugs or even a tray of water especially in warmer months. That way you'll find they will befriend you. Please give it a try.
The first time I heard that whirring noise, I couldn't work out what it was. Then I realised it was coming from a silly bird carrying on at a ground level window it could see its own reflection in!
I call them the “Denzel Washington” bird. because I never knew what they were called so I just call it “Denzel Washington” because of its black flat head like Denzels hair in the movie Training Day
