    In my opinion, the most haunting bird call is that of the last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō male. Not because it sounds scary, but just the absolutely depressing context.
    For those unaware, the recording of his call was just him singing with breaks for a female to join in. He didn't know that he was the last surviving of his species and I think that's truly haunting. He died in 1987.

      Imagine.
      You have zero idea your species is gone and you are the only one left.
      You call out hoping someone will answer.
      You keep calling out over and over again but no one is there.
      You do not know if your kind is gone only from this place.
      So if you could you try to move around and keep calling.
      Even when you die you will may not know that you are the last humans probably still believing that people in other countries must still exist atleast.

    This past summer, we had about two to three Barred Owls living in my backyard, and at night it sounded like a bunch of monkeys freaking out back there. A few interesting things I learned about Barred Owls are that they love making random sounds and will come to check you out and respond if you call to them and they are sometimes out during the day (my sister and I got to see one) which meant we got to witness how big it was-almost two feet tall with a four foot wingspan. Really cool birds.

    • @Awakeningspirit20
      @Awakeningspirit20 Год назад +2

      That’s amazing, also local for me! We have this bog garden where at least 4 live and they get so territorial. They’re out in the day but you have to look. In the evening they’re very active and begin making harsh hisses and shrieks at each other. They put on quite the show for the crowd but began scaring the ducks and I thought there was going to be a war, especially with how they dive-bombed the ducks. When you heard the barred owl you know the gettings good and you’re out in nature!

    The black-footed albatross’ call is similar to that of a velociraptor. Yes, that’s almost what raptors sounded like! In fact, the black-footed albatross’ call was used in a (very accurate) reconstruction of the vocalisations of a velociraptor. Mainly at 0:29 with the shrieking
    In fact, a few of these calls were indeed used in the reconstruction of dinosaur vocalisations.

      I've seen enough videos if capercaillie to know you should flee the noise anyway. They're apparently super territorial, and one literally ran near a mile down the road to attack a dude who was just standing there.
      Can't remember if its just during breeding season or year round, but they're absolute bastards.
