Butcher Bird Singing for 6 mins.MP4

- This young Butcher Bird who I called Billy used to come and sing regularly. One day she came and started to sing, so I decided to record her! Now when I listen to this recording and the variety of notes in her range, I realise it was a very powerful message for me!
Because I work I do with people's voices and a variety of tones, Billy was showing me this, but I did not get the message straight away! Billy was going through the whole range of notes which is what I do with my clients to bring out the power of their own voice!

What a sweetie !! Australia has some amazing birds, with fabulous songs and many with glorious plumage ❤

¡Qué melodía más bella! ¿Será Yma Sumac? De siempre recordar esta ave. Gracias
I play this for my orphaned butcher bird, it calms and engages them. Thank you x
Mine baby butcher bird also reacted to it's sound too! Mine is a chinese butcher bird, I am so amazed.
Used it to sing with a lil grey wild fella
@@lordhong4558 - how did the Chinese Butcher bird learn Australian Butcher bird ?
Maybe it took a, Rosella Stone course !...
Wow, thankyou, what a fantastic audience.

I also played this for my Indian Butcher bird. it went into a nirvana state. Im very impressed.
Such a joyful sound!
The array of sounds this bird produces is honestly amazing!!

What an amazing repertoire - very impressive! Thanks for sharing
I use a Pied Butcher Bird's call for the ringtone on my mobile. You should see the reaction of other people when, for example, my phone rings in a coffee shop!
They are of the same genus as our (Australian) magpie, which also has a lovely warble.
Happy little soul great .

Isn't that just beautiful!
Missing the Butcher Birds ... thanx Andrena
Oh thanks for posting. I was thinking how I miss them. I had one who used to come and sing for me to come outside! And here's your post! Lovely, thank you.
They mimic too. This must be in The Eastern States. We’re in Mandurah WA and our Butchers are darker and sound different. Gorgeous little birds.

Awesome I had a family of butcher birds that come to my house everyday some of them eat of my hand the other one is a bit weary and I have magpies aswell that visit everyday they have trusted us as they have brought their babies to my house aswell sometimes they will come inside the house they are highly intelligent birds and I love them ❤❤
Dear Andrena,
thank you for this. " I LOVE this bird, even as he completes the healing tones in specific chakras, he then makes that funny 'cawark' sound to show it is done and then goes on to the next level. He is Great!!"
Have you heard of our Healing Sound Seminar coming up in Hawaii in February with the Humpback whales and the dear Spinner dolphins (now often 400 of them!!) Wish you could come with our dear Elaine Thompson and share this bird film

I have a gang that comes for a daily treat of mince ..... such good flyers too ! 😊

SO Cute!
You have a super talented bird there
this is fire
I've got two butcher birds that I'm feeding at the moment. One I've called Ratatat because he will sit their and talk to you and sometimes he won't stop and the other is called Sassy because of the way he sits but I believe that he might of been in a fight with another bird or might of crashed into something because he doesn't put any pressure on his right leg.
Oh. Poor. Thing. Bless him anyway
What a beautiful creature butcherbirds are
Beautiful LifeLove
Just gorgeous. Apparently distantly related to our U.K. corvids which don’t sing as such but are just as crafty and full of personality.xxx
thats better than R2D2!
Don't know how to place it musically as a tune, BUT my replica R2D2 Droid has a massive stonk on !!!
She can speak different languages...
I mean the bird, not Ms.Andrena Forrest
Mine baby butcher bird (chinese brown back butcher bird, not sure what the official name is) only respawn to 1:51-2:07 part's sound, I believe it means something to the baby bird, but I am not sure what it means.
好可愛，請問他在看什麼？
are you listening? I am practising my singing. I am singing your song. I am singing you. sing sing.
Why are there 10 dislikes? That's 2% of the total of 452 likes and dislikes.
Makes you wonder who dislikes this ? Maybe a worm or grub that's part of this birds diet perhaps ?
Some people don't like how they kill their prey. I think they're gorgeous
This is a Pied Butcherbird? And is it a juvenile/immature, because of the duller more pale neck? www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Cracticus-nigrogularis. "...Both sexes have identical plumage, but the male is slightly larger than the female. Young Pied Butcherbirds are generally duller than the adults are. The areas of black are replaced with brown and white areas are washed with buff. The birds also have an ill-defined bib, which becomes more distinct with age."
It's a type of magpie
Actually magpies are a type of butcherbird, so it’s the other way round lol.
More positive than Bill Shorton. That would't be hard
When I was little, I always thought that Australia has nothing interesting, America has it all, its amazing there..over the years I have realised that we in Australia have one of-no-the best animals and wildlife in the world. We have over 56 different species of parrots and these incredible birds! Not to mention an amazing reef. I am proud to be Aussie and I wouldn’t change that.
It's very easy to take something for granted when you're exposed to it every day! I went to Europe with my parents a few years back and was amazed at the centuries old art and architecture in cities like London and Paris, and it took me a while to see anything other than "boring old Australia" once we got back here :P
When I was a child in America, we regularly watched episodes of “Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.” Australia definitely has some cool things about it…every place does!
@@normeyoung One sure thing...the National Park where the Skippy series was made has plenty of background noises and callls from lots of these beautiful birds.
Amazed daily
Australia is beautiful and unique. We have a bit of everything. I live in the lush hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. It's as fertile and green as anywhere in the world. Grew up in WA. Went camping in the mulga on the edge of the desert. Lived for a while among the magnificent karri forests of the South West. Spent 8 years in Tasmania. Now live a short drive to both the mountains and the beautiful coast in the Noosa hinterland. I feel blessed.
I am so happy that I am Australian
(I moved from Russia 12 years ago at the age of 40)
I'd never heard of a Butcher Bird before til an Aussie friend in a chat room mentioned them, I came here to see what the fuss was all about and this guy is just brilliant. He sounds like the happiest bird on the planet and he can't wait to tell you about it lol.
The undisputed king of the Aussie carollers; butcherbirds are a pure delight to have around the house. They sing their fabulously complex song for us for a few handouts; the ultimate bush busker, the butcherbird travels light to entertain.
I don't know if you'd call the Butcher Birds singing, 'carolling', actually. Magpies definitely carol. To me , the magpie is the undisputed king of Aussie carollers. I love them both. They both have wonderful songs, and are both fabulous mimickers!
@@7Melancholia7 Australian Magpies ARE Butcherbirds, they belong to the same family
@@nycot107 They are NOT Butcherbirds, they do belong to the same family though.
The sound is absolutely stunning. We have a family of butcher birds we've been feeding 10 years and every season they bring their 'kids' home. Often times when I've got music playing, particularly something slow, they come to serenade. Staggeringly beautiful video. Loved it. Thank you for sharing.
In India wenever heard Butcher bird it is a great treat
Absolutely beautiful singing from the butcher bird with a Maggie in the background. I too have butcher birds and maggies that come into my yard and sing. But never as long as this. I often hear them in a bush behind my home singing ❤
That is a wonderful video. I think the butcher bird is singing for a feed. I have had grey butcher birds around me in 2 separate locations for about 18 years. I have noticed that on some occasions they will quietly sing a different repertoire to themselves which includes quiet chatter, warbling trills, and snatches of mimicking other bird calls such as whip birds, magpies, rosellas and others. Whenever they do this particular vocalizing, I have noticed it always comes some time before a big wind, rain or storm. I do find them the most intelligent birds and cherish their friendship.
They get VERY insistent at bfast and dinner. I've had them come into my old Queenslander and SCREAM that insistent, "I WANT MY FUCKING RAW ORGANIC MINCE. NOW!!!" song......
It's hard to miss, except you eardrums are bleeding
❤
In the Myna Bird family? Magpie...distantly. The Aussie version of the Shrike. Lovely songs...killers at heart.
I think this bird just found a place to enjoy its own talent.
Sounds from the heavens!!! Thanks so much.
Yes Jennifer. Thank you for giving God the glory. These created birds and all nature tell us of how Great the God we serve. God bless all those who love nature and take the time to admire the beauty around us.
Its my pleasure he/she just sang from his heart beautiful!
Yes! This bird is not simply singing. Some of this is not the butcher birds natural song. The earlier part of this song is imitating the resonance of human speech. Listen hard, and see if you can identify the other sounds. It may be your phone, mobile or radio. He also makes a parrot or budgie noise and something like a bulbul.
Beautiful.
I've been searching everywhere for a quality recording of the Butcher Bird.
Now i've found it,
Thanks.
I think this bird is a reincarnation of a jazz trompetist! Or Ella Fitzgerald :) Amazing improvisation of jazz and electronic music :)
Here in Romania we dont have this kind of birds, thank you for the video!
Comenzi333, look at bird bath
this could be the birds life story !!!
Some of the language used is a little bit colourful I must say! :P
HA HA! THEY SURE LIKE TO SING AND SHOW OFF THEIR SINGING TALENTS.
Yes, Wikipedia describes their birdsong as having a "characteristic 'rollicking'" quality. In other words, lively and playful.
Wonderful ! Such a rich array of sounds. At times, she seems to really talk to you. Thank you for posting this
If you listen carefully you will pick up his version of other birds, magpies especially. They are close in nature to the Lyrebirds that undoubtedly are the best copiers of any sound around. Sirens, circular saws, tradies drills, you name it.
the talk of the angels, the way they chirp is quite amazing.
Wonderful, so special to capture that on video and thanks for sharing.
The butcher bird is cute but is really creepy that it puts small animals into the thorns
I'm sitting under my patio here in West Oz playing this vid loud ,I'm surrounded within 20 meters of where I'm sitting by magpies,mudlarks,butcher birds, currawongs ,wattle birds,28,s and crows,I'm fair dinkum!That's with me whistling along too!!Ha ha ha ,choice vid cheers mate👍🇦🇺🦘🍻
I'm in Nthn Thailand, and hearing the butcher bird singing makes me so homesick! I'm in a city apartment block and all we have are pigeons and starlings!
So beautifulll...wonderful song..Thank you
HAPPINESS IS ??? BUTCHERBIRD VISITORS !!! I have 2 families that visit, each with 3 offspring from last Springtime. All babies survived this year. Could not imagine life without BUTCHERBIRDS
all butcher birds should die.
I THINK THEY ARE SWEET. THERE IS ONE AROUND HERE THAT COMES TO MY BALCONY AND SINGS TO ME AND I SING BACK TO IT, THEN IT SINGS TO ME AGAIN AND AGAIN EACH TIME I SING BACK TO IT. IVE SEEN SOME BAD THINGS SAID ABOUT THEM ONLINE, BUT IVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE BIRDS AROUND HERE INCLUDING THE CROWS. ALTHOUGH THE CROWS CAN BE ANNOYING SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START FEEDING THEM. BUT MY FAVOURITE WILD BIRDS ARE THE BUTCHER BIRDS FROM MY EXPERIENCES WITH THEM SO FAR.
my flock is 3 seasons old and im up to 9 now in the flock =) so awesome seeing the oldest pair and last years 3 bring the new 4 in to meet us =)
Fell in love with this bird when I visited my children in Australia. Makes me homesick. Great performance. And better than the Hadeda Ibis!
Oh wow, I would love to have Billy come to sing for me like that. Such a lovely song!

I have no doubt that my Grey Butcherbird family followed me over 7kms when I moved house. Their repertoires are unique.
These videos are sending my wild Butcher birds crazy. They are territorial and I have a family that I feed and they are trying to find the interloper
Andrena Forrest.. Awesome video! thanks for uploading.
Always love the sound of the butcher birds singing
He says my NAME! No joke, at 3.20 start listening and he will say Jess-i-ca. As a kid I would run around the house trying to figure out which parent or sibling was calling me. Found out it was some bird but never saw it. Only a few weeks ago at age 30 did I actually see the bird that calls my name haha
Thank you, their so beautiful. We have Butch the butcher bird baby, his brother who is a little older and not as grey and their parents who LOVE to hang around. Every time I’m out in the garden Butch is right there with me waiting patiently for lawn grubs and curl grubs.
I also have Renae and Frog Bird (named this because my partner and I couldn’t figure out what the noise was we were hearing, we looked through all the Aussie owls and frogs to find it was a possum! So he was named Frog Bird 💓) the possum couple and their baby unamed baby so far, waiting to hopefully see baby again soon as she’s been MIA. Mum hasn’t come around in a while and it’s hard to tell wether Frog Bird visiting or her) We have Pen and Teller the Magpie babies and their parents. Their first successful clutch after feeding plastic to their last two seasons babies 😢 Took some time in the council back area behind us where they live and removed all the rubbish people had carelessly thrown about.
QLD Australia, we need to take care of our wildlife and environment. Big or small everyone can help 💓
3:26? :D
Beautiful thanks for sharing
Woow. Wonderful bird and house.
I think this Butcherbird is just doing an acoustic sound check.
One Two
Two Two Two
One Two Soo Soo
Just the same, it's a beautiful sound check.
Having returned to New Zealand the thing I miss the most is Australian birds and particularly the amazing butcher bird and coorong songs! And freshly made pizza!
So many vicious birds in Australia with cute melodies...

U obviously know how this guy got his name then ? His beautiful song hides a cold blooded killer though unlike humans who are pretty much the only animal who kill just to kill these guys do it to live but man the way they stick their prey on thorn bushes is pretty harsh.
This one of the best. The.most beautiful bird sound
SO much detail! Incredible.I wish scientists could find out more about bird song and what they mean.
Sounds really beautiful.
Merveilleux !!!
The sounds of an angel but the behaviour of the devil, gotta love Australia
Screaming mouth, look at bird bath
OMG, what a beauty, I wake every morning to butcher birds, noisy minors, magpies, rainbow lorekeets, crimson and eastern rosellas, sulpher crested cockatoos and corellas. And then the crows start bossing peeps around. My butcher birds are elusive, not attention seaker like yours
Hi Tracey maybe you should record yours xx
I generally wake up to them, along with sulphur cresteds and Magpies. I linger on the verge of waking up before I am actually awake
I have noisy minors thay imitate my smoke alarm, lol, smoke alarm to close to oven
Tracey Williams My ButcherBirds come for meaty treats, regularly, & have brought their babies over many generations. Love the ButcherBirds.
Do you mean the two small crow species? Or the bigger Australian Raven 'Crow'?
Looks like a young bird full of the joy of life

I love the butcher birds, they are so cute and friendly and have the best singing
I have Grey Butcherbirds around the place all the time and love them but this is special!
I always hear and see the same pied butchy on my train line near my house every morning he sings, it's so beautiful
He's talking.
+mirabilo He certainly was and had much to say!
I love these birds. I get one who occasionally sit close by and says hello.
Best songbird in all the world! A nightingale sang ( casually) in an Australian backyard.
Thanks for a great upload!
Magpies and butcher birds, buskers supreme.
Their lovely calls hides a very nasty nature of these birds..they killed all 4 of the Plover chicks when less than a week old...not nice.
I don't think it was personal.
They're LOVELY birds, but can be ruthless
Thank you so much Andrena for sharing these lovely singing birds with us 💞💞💝
Doreen, look at bird bath
In my memory of caloundra, but those have kind of their own tune!so calming
One came to my bedroom window and seranaded me wonderful sound
I love the song of the butcherbird. Very beautiful call.
What wonderful singers they are! And what a fantastic video! Thank you!
We get one every morning,it sings very complex call and response songs. It truly amazing .
Makes me think the bird must have been listening to jazz.
❤ My favourite bird.
Oh wow, that is wonderful.
Amazing song:)
Wonderful, love that bird.
Extraordinary. Thanks.
How beautiful 💖💖💖
This talkative fella is really cool!
I once spent 6 weeks camping alone in the outback of York Peninsula. One of the many thrills of that experience was getting to hear a Pied Butcher bird sing from a dead tree miles from any humans. We have some pretty good singers in America but only our Mockingbird comes close. And it is very unusual for females of any species to sing. Butcher birds are amazing.
Pure awesomeness
