Winklebottom posted:that's how I felt about this video of a rook, usually only hear them screaming in their giant nesting flocks but they have quite the range, apparently: This is cool as hell. We have plenty of rooks here too, but like you I've never really heard them make other sounds than their usual caw. Reminds me of this one time I was sitting at a bus stop, and a crow just kinda wandered in and started making this weird noise, like a couple clicks followed by this low, throaty "bwaahhh", almost like it was dry heaving. Never figured out what the hell that was about. loving birds man, how do they work?

I know it's a silly little contest, but the kakapo has only just recently gone from being functionally extinct to just being critically endangered. So maybe let it have a little more time in the spotlight.

The youtube channel Henry the PaleoGuy has a regular feature showcasing other endangered New Zealand birds and their conservation efforts. Here's one about the Black Robin, which at one point were down to 6 individuals and 1 female. The conservation effort succeeded in part due to Old Blue living 3x longer than the average life expectancy of female Black Robins. She's the ancestor of the entire surviving population. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACnYArICoX4

Looking at the field guides for Hawaii birds is depressing. So many extinct species. I assume a lot of islands with large number of endemics like NZ are similarly depressing.

You know what, that was stupid of me. I should've considered that there are many more critically endangered birds on NZ. Very dumb. I just like the kakapo, but I guess I wouldn't have known about it if not for that  video. So fair on them.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Maybe a raven? I remember this old video of a guy with a pet raven & it makes the exact noises you're describing Nah, it was a hooded crow, so very easy to tell apart from a raven due to the colouring. And, sadly, we don't have city ravens where I live, anyways.
