    Apparently one of the loudest bird calls out there

    It looks and sounds like an alien

      The sound would make for a great emergency alarm system in case of natural disasters or air raids.

      Must be super rare, is there even one recording with multiple of those birds at once?

    I love evolution. I think it’s hilarious that these birds evolved to look like they tried to snort the bundle of hair that’s been clogging my shower since 2020.
