Oh, #HellOfABird is trending? Smithsonian ornithologist Peri Bolton ( @Periperipatus) is a Dr. Who fan AND can #SpeakBird. She gives us the calls of three 🇦🇺species: the Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo, the Australian Magpie, and the Tawny Frogmouth. #SpeakBird? Share and tag your calls!
The Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo and the Australian Magpie are easy to spot in urban areas, but you’ll have to keep an eye and ear out for the camouflaged and nocturnal Tawny Frogmouth.

📸 Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita).
📸 Australian Magpie (Cracticus tibicen).
📸 Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides).

We challenge all you bird-nerds (Dr. Who fans, or not) to #SpeakBird this week. Record, tag, and share your best bird calls!
