Whilst driving to the summit of Mt Donna Buang near Warburton, Vic on Sunday 14 September I saw a bird making this call in response to a ‘Feral’ cat, it becomes obvious what species it is near the end but (I think) it sounds remarkably similar to a ‘Tyto’ Owl. What do you think? http://www.aviceda.org/audio/?p=347 Tom — ******************************** Tom Tarrant Hawthorn East 3123 Victoria http://www.aviceda.org ********************************

Hi all, It’s a Superb Lyrebird, but I think you know that already. By the way, after 16 years of researching koalas I have never heard a koala do that call. Female koalas do make some screech-type calls but their tone is quite different. Thanks Tom for uploading it!

I was about to say that it sounds somewhere between a Sooty & Masked Owl, but i’m with Greg & leaning more towards a Masked – I definitely don’t think that it’s a Koala at all, but definitely a Tyto owl… cheers, martin cachard, cairns

Koala mating calls can be very loud, and rather disturbing if the first time you hear them is above your tent in the middle of the night. Carl Clifford

I think the ‘Tyto’ type call sounds more like a Masked Owl than a Sooty. Regards Greg Dr Greg. P.

I think they were females which were being harassed by males. Cheers, Chris. On 9/14/2014 11:16 AM, Tom Tarrant wrote: — Chris Corben.
