Some shmuck sampled it in a piano composition and now is apparently getting royalties from the video. It really leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
- EdwardDiego 5y agoI can't get your link to work, but which bird?
- ng12 5y agoThe Kauaʻi ʻōʻō, native to Hawaii. It's the last known recording of it's song.
- EdwardDiego 5y agoThought it might have been, it sounds quite similar to some of our (NZ) birds - bellbirds,tui, kōkako. I didn't realise how recently it went extinct though, that's really sad.
