While visiting New Zealand, I heard a type of morning bird that sounded almost like a xylophone. I'm not sure what kind it was. It was the most unique sounding bird I've heard.
I can't imagine what it would have been like to hear a chorus of those birds back when they were far more numerous.
- robocat 7y agoI'm guessing you heard a bellbird - some of their single tone calls sound like a ringing bell. First recordings I found weren't a great example of the sound, but it also has some "dawn chorus" recordings: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/bird-songs-and-calls/ https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/bird-son...
