It's probably either a noisy minor or wattle bird. I love the melody of the magpies and also the butcher bird who has a beautiful melodic song. Speaking of chainsaws, I once heard a lyre bird mimicking a chain saw. They are incredible! Hi Chrissie,

It seems the trees in my streets too are getting brittle with the heat. Hopefully it'll pass though, and we'll just have a little rain in the winter. Odd summer this year - there's been a couple of days where's it's been 15-19 degrees. Hmm, Melbourne has weird weather :/ The trees in my street are home to some interesting - some nice, some not so nice - animals too - like the bird that I like to call the chainsaw bird (It honestly sounds like one) that sings every morning at 5:00, to my distaste. But oh well - the pendulum will swing, and hopefully things will get better :) Ah, I know what you mean. It seems the trees in my streets too are getting brittle with the heat.
