These beautiful little birds have an amazing sound, mostly only heard in rural areas, and originally from New Zealand. Also known as Manorina melanophrys
Me and some other people around here find the sound of bell birds very penetrating and oh dare I say it ? Annoying. They Never stop either. I m happy our valley is still free of them. Plus the theory goes that they mean dieback of eucalyptuses trees ...
I've driven the highway that runs through a habitat. Stopped on the side of the road just to listen and be amazed.
Being an Aussie expat I miss the sound of these birds but when you live around them and it is constant - nope…
Where is this paradise in particular in Australia? Hoping that the property is rentable?
Is that Mornington Peninsula ?
