Bird | Best For Birds

This is Chook, our male Superb Lyrebird at Adelaide Zoo. We’ve had a lot of construction going on lately and Chook has picked up many of the sounds.
You can find out more information on Chook and download free Chook ringtones here: http://tinyurl.com/n42w79 .

We think we can hear the following sounds:
1. Hammer
2. Chainsaw
3. Jack hammer
4. Lawn mower hitting sticks
5. Leaf blower starting
6. Power drill
7. Wood saw
8. Human voices
9. Two-way radio
10.Worker whistling
He makes lots of different bird calls as well. What can you hear?

Hinterland Who’s Who - Burrowing Owl

Posted by admin

From the popular Hinterland Who’s Who (www.hww.ca) TV series, here is a video on the burrowing owl, a species at risk. The Burrowing Owl Athene cunicularia gained its name from a particular behaviour: it nests underground. But contrary to the impression given by the bird’s scientific name, which means “little digger,” this owl rarely digs its own burrow. Instead, it constructs its nest in burrows vacated by small mammals like ground squirrels, badgers, and prairie dogs.

Robin Birds’ Nest

Posted by admin

The baby robins are about one week old. There are four of them and they are living about 5 ft away from my room. The father comes and slowly feeds the young when they open their mouth. Then the mother comes. It feeds the babies and since one baby is a little younger, it chokes on the worm. The mother pulls the worm out and when she puts the worm back in, the baby chokes on it again! Then she pulls the worm out and feeds the baby again, and finally the baby swallows it! When the mom finishes feeding, it sits on the nest to keep the babies warm.
