Little Red Wattlebird

Every morning Jenni and I are waken up by a very unpleasant sound.  The Red Wattlebird is a large, noisy honeyeater. Did I mention, NOISY?  The common name refers to the fleshy reddish wattle on the side of the neck. The plumage is grey-brown on the body, with prominent white streaks and yellow on the belly. The face is pale and the tail is long with a white-tip. This bird is very NOISY. The Red Wattlebird's range extends throughout the southern areas of the Australian mainland and it is a very NOISY bird.  


I am not sure if I have mentioned yet that this bird is quite the noisy little guy.  
It has several distinctive but unmusical calls including coughs, a harsh 'yac a yac' and a loud 'chok'. 


Watch this 16 second video and imagine this wretched sound right outside of your window.  If only I had a blow gun.......
