For sure, even that would be better than Advance Australia fair, Its such a droning song you can even sing it in one tone (boredom tone).
We dont have toucans here mate,probably a whip bird (not sure of the real name) or a bell bird. Both have great sounds.
Ahh here you go the big four noises out here :-)
Bell birds
Magpie call
Kookaburras
Thanks mate. You've got a pretty large wildlife out there downunder. I wonder if the ol' penguin platipus made any call.
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
