    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.

      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 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

      They are called “mourning doves”, because they mate for life and often times the male birds are hunted, and their “wives” will coo much louder than normal as if they’re in mourning. Hopes this clears things up a bit :) (definitely haunting when there are many of them crying at once) (poor birds)

      @@aylajanestephens5305 Seems all birds mate for life. So admirable. I don’t get why people hunt them. They’re doves. How small does your wanker need to be that killing doves makes you feel like a man? Ugh…some humans.

    My parrot cracked up and started making really goofy noises when the Cory's Shearwater came on.

    I love the laughing kookaburra because I’m from Australia and it’s just so relaxing to me.
    Grey go away bird IS ADORABLEEE.
    Tbh none of these were haunting to me.
    Birds calls are music, songs.
    It’s beauty in every click, whistle and Gweeeee.
    It’s mature at it’s work and every call is just something I’ll never forget, even when I leave this world.
    The beauty of sound.
