Pied Currawong Calls & Sounds

The distinctive calls and song of a winter flock of Pied Currawongs in the Australian bush. Named for the often heard “curra-wong” call, Pied Currawongs make a range of other vocalisations including loud ringing calls, gurgles and whistles. In autumn and winter, Pied Currawongs often form flocks, especially if there is a concentration of food around such as a fruiting tree. These feeding flocks often call noisily, creating a rich chorus of whistles and ‘curra-wong’ calls.
In this video spectrogram, a flock of about 20 Pied Currawongs can be heard singing as they feed on the fruits of a native lilli pilli tree. Australian Magpie, Grey Butcherbird, Bell Miner and a few other species can be heard in the background.

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

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...

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 😺

@Mercurio-Morat-Goes-Bughunting
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.

@@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.

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.

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.
@WildAmbience
@WildAmbience 3 года назад
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.

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.

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.
