Went to the museum and got some frozen yoghurt. Saw some birbs and tried not to scare them.
Ooooo that's a buff-banded rail!

What do they sound like? Can you give us your best impression in audio?
Yes it is! I love how people have named birds, and some of them are comical (e.g. drab seedeater, penduline tits).
That's my favourite part of the museum! Love the fish and trees and how you can see those birds quickly darting about!
