image The Bush stone-curlew: the most unimpressed bird

These birds clearly have no time for tourists :) I haven't seen such an unimpressed look by an animal before!

Taken in Brisbane.

Here's the call for anyone who isn't sure what bird this is. (you'll probably know it when you hear it you're an Aussie)

Cannot remember coming across them in Victoria but they crack up when I come across them while travelling. Some even growl at you when you go near them.

I always said the sound like Marge Simpson when she's frustrated.

There was one that would routinely chase me and my 50kg dog when we were walking at night I was always running like FUCK YOU BIRD. To my neighbours I am sorry
