Default animal noises???????????

Just wondering how strange it was adjusting to all the different animal noises i.e. birds and lizards, there are a lot of tropical birds in the sky that we only see in zoos here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I imagine at night it's pretty weird lying in bed listening to all the nocturnal creatures doing their night thing.

I haven't really noticed much as I'm from Zimbabwe so we have similar noises. But my husband is from Ireland so notices it alot.

my husband was over on the sunshine coast with his best friend for their wedding last April he went over early and was helping him out with work as he is a tree surgeon but sean and the other lads were working away and my hubby kept asking what the noise sean he kept saying its monkeys they were like were the hell are they i want to get a picture for my lads any way they kept swearing it was monkeys and Paul eventually coped on he rang me at about one o'clock in the morning and said what that noise do you know what it is sean say it monkeys and i started laughing eh no i think its a bird turns out it was the Kookaburras in the trees .

sorry went on a bit there

but here is what we will be seeing a lot of when we get over Australian Native Birds

The bird noises still wake us up early in the morning since we were used to double glazing before and don't have it here.

It's just moved into Spring and there is now a weird almost humming like noise - not sure if it's birds or insects.

Oh and we had to chop a tree branch down since possums were using it and then leaping onto the roof above our bedroom and waking us up!

Regards,
Karen

Cheers guys, this is all the info i was after, all we have to worry about noise wise is seagulls and they are a real pain in the butt.

Didn't know that about the possums though, and what are Christmas beatles?
