Red wattle bird. These colourful birds are very aggressive to other birds. They have a loud and unpleasant call and in spring and summer they are the birds that wake people up too early.

      Hahahaha. That's it alright! They do that right on first light and they always perch on a branch next to your bedroom. Their call is very loud! Posted 10 years ago
