The exotic South American bird that sounds like a video game!

  • 9 years ago
An exotic bird in Brazil was recorded making incredible sounds that wouldn’t be out of place on a video game.
The Curl-crested Jay, which resides at the Criadouro Onca Pintada breeding centre, is native to South America and is known to be a good mimic of other birds and man-made sounds.
With the ever-growing presence of human’s in their natural habitats, the bird is one example of a number of species that have learned to incorporate peculiar everyday sounds into their song.
Videoed behind a fence, the bird initially makes a sinister noise like a distorted voice before creating an almost digital sound.
Following this the bird makes a noise that sounds like running water before a Space Invaders style tune emerges from it.
