For what it's worth, I've got a second birdpi set up at my partners house, and there are kookaburras there! And lots of noisy miners too! Those birds really live up to their name, they are really noisy!

As long as someone is watching out for the kookaburras!

The miners sound like very loud Guinea pigs.

But they move in larger packs, and are more aggressive. No cat is safe from a flock of miners screeching at them!

I did watch another news-type segment where they put up a Bluetooth speaker in a tree and played another bird song and it almost immediately got attached by miners. They said they really stress out a lot of other wildlife.

There was a second part I wasn't closely listening to as I was walking somewhere while listening, but something about them eating some sweet protective coating off a certain tree so now the bugs are able to damage the trees.

At first I thought they sounded kinda cute, but then as I saw the group sizes, I saw how it would quickly get old, especially if they drive off other animals.
