Black Cockatoos - Paraparap
Yes.....it is a palindrone, the call of the red tailed black cockatoo. Or that is how the local aborigines transliterate the sound.
Still reasonably common around Darwin, this flock were sitting happily in a large eucalypt near the airport.
They are large and very regal.
The sound is also the name given to one of Darwin's suburbs, but often shortenend to Parap.
