Whilst at Mallacoota we saw and heard many bird noises especially in the evening as the sun was setting. Over a couple of nights there was one noise which was more distinctive than the others, that of a pig. Yes a pig grunting noise.
So the investigation started on what type of bird makes a pig sounding noise. First port of call was family who have friends that are keen bird watchers. Shall I just say we never heard back from the family - not sure if they thought we were pulling their leg or not!
Any way the noise continued including we noticed in the mornings. We thought we may need to do a spot of pig hunting to see if in fact is was a pig or a bird.
Finally we had to ask Mr Google what could possibly be making this noise. To our surprise it was.........
Yes people this cute looking animal known as a Koala and not a pig makes these noises! Apparently it is looking for a mate, just not sure how successful he was!!
