Summary[
edit] Description: English: Audio recording of the call of a bird, the male Eastern Whipbird, a native bird that inhabits much of the forested areas of the east coast of Australia. As the name implies - and as you will hear - its call resembles the loud cracking of a whip. The call of the male Eastern Whipbird is one of the most familiar to bush-walkers in eastern Australia and, along with the Laughing Kookaburra's call, it is one of the icons of the Aussie bush. Between the loud whip-cracks, you hear chatter of other birds in the area and, right at the end, the triple call of the female Eastern Whipbird, responding to the male's call. It was originally recorded on a Sony MiniDisc Walkman circa 2000 and transferred to my computer. Date: 28 July 2009. Source: Own work. Author:
