They can. you hear them up in the blue mountains occasionally at night. it's not common, but it happens. I always imagine it as a late night text of regret
owl will be more likely if you can find a good match.
Yeah my thought too. Drop bear mating call. When they attack the first and last thing you hear is your screams. Deadly little buggers.
Yeah they sound like a cat going reeeowww lol it's a very weird and creepy sound to hear in the rainforest!
could be an owl still, they make mighty odd noises.
Video game reference. It sounds a bit like the character from Halo’s shield recharging.

Just a guess.
I’ve spent a lot of time camping in lyrebird territory and each has their own local calls.
Typically they play a chorus early in the morning of other bird songs and human habitation noises (chainsaws, car alarms etc).
My best theory on why the mimic is based on natural selection and the advantage the mimicry creates for them. At Dawn and dusk when they are most vocal they tend to utilise other bird calls, creating a territory for themselves in that birds habitat (kookaburras for example) this is so they don’t compete for food with kookaburras.
By mimicking human noises, it’s more efficient, they are scaring all birds and predators (goannas mostly these days or feral dogs) away.
So hence, if is was startled by your friend during the night when they don’t call, it would have gone for the loudest human sound it new to startle the unknown threat away, which was probably a 250cc dirt or sports bike with a shitty exhaust red lining 1st gear to accelerate onto a highway on ramp or up a dirt hill on a fire trail. If you could imagine how loud and dominant that sound would be in a natural bush setting and the startled nature it would have on local mammals and birds, you could then deduce the lyrebird wants to own that sound for its personal survival … and evolutionary advantage.
Yeah, I originally thought owl when he described the “screech” but dismissed it when I heard the video, but with that said, I haven’t heard every type of owl.
It was at night time after the electrical storm, the lightning and thunder could have woken anything up. So yeah, it might have been a lyrebird mimicking too. I’ve just never heard anything like it so thought I’d ask here because someone might recognise it.
Damn straight they are!! Aww but they’re sooooo cuuute, I just wanna love him and hold him and pet him and….. Ah shit, I’m dead.
For sure, I’ve heard some mighty screeches from owls, makes your hair stand on end sometimes. This is the first time I’ve heard anything sound like this so I guess an owl can’t be ruled out. Just because I’ve never heard it before doesn’t mean it couldn’t be that huh?
Thanks u/oosuteraria-jin, I’d written off the owl possibility until you said that.
Oh! Sorry, I’ve never played it so I didn’t get the reference. You’re right, it does sound very similar, good call. Our mate says it was definitely an animal though. Thanks for the link :)
I should have made that clearer I think, my bad. I’ve heard OF lyrebirds, have seen many images of them, but have never heard them making calls - unless they’ve been so good at it I never realised I was, in fact, listening to a lyrebird. I know I’ve never actually seen them roaming around in the wild.
I think we’ve all seen a 10c piece lol.
All good. Sorry can’t help you more. I haven’t heard anything that sounds like your recording… was it taken close to where there are houses and people? Like other have said maybe a lyrebird?

A few people have said lyrebird, I’m thinking they may be right. It was coming from the forest, nowhere near any houses, but his car was broken down in a resting bay, so there would be exposure to people I’d assume. The storm might have woken it up 🤷‍. It does sound an awful lot like that recharging sound.
Gosh, they ARE good, you’d never know that was a bird. Thanks for the link, that was pretty cool. I missed it when it was all over the news.
Good.
Australia's response to hate crime is weak and the law is rarely enforced. We need to get better we need to bring more of these type of despicable acts brought up to public attention.

Absolutely despicable!! This is scary
But according to the LNP we dont have a white supremacy problem.
Colour me surprised that a Liberal government doesn't give a shit about poor people. They probably wouldn't vote for them anyway so no incentive to actually do anything about it.
It's intentional. 60% of inflation is deliberate price gouging and huge profit driven, we have independent analysis showing us this.
Central banks are increasing interest rates to throw millions out of their homes, so asset management investment firms can turn them over to the Rich as safe havens for their wealth during a bear market.
Massive global tax cuts lead to too much free capital in circulation. The theft of our homes as asset havens is the deliberate result of these tax cuts.
When stage 3 goes through it'll get worse.
Minns ‘ll fix it
It's still early in the day (just after 08:30 at the time of the photo) and I decided to see what the temperature was indoors.
Now I know why it feels so hot and I'm already sweaty.
Way more than what the BOM forecast.
What's the actual temperature (by your measurement) where you are?
Botany, 26C
Where tf are you in Sydney where it is 48C?
If it's nearly 50°C on a mild 28°C Sydney day, what temperature does this room get to on a 40°C Sydney day?
Hmm… this seems to disagree. Did you leave the oven door open in your kitchen?

Full sun on your thermometer doesn't count, sorry .
Average /teenagers kid
Had it with you flamin' trolls. Be prepared to be blocked.
Oof that’s hot!! it was 29° in my room this morning. I put cold water from the fridge into my 1.5 L vacuum sealed water bottle and drinking it all day keeps me cooler

Probs Penrith.
Hottest place in Sydney
28 in mounty
its 10 past 10 here in Wa and currently 37 degrees
don't known but it hot and I'm sweaty. might use my fan in a bit
Beautiful day in Sydney
This guy!
I got so burnt I can barely move
OP posting about "a scorcher" and getting scorched instead
Either OP's thermometer is broken or their house is broken. Max temp in Sydney today is 28º.
and that's supposedly indoors
50°C is equivalent to 122°F, which is 323K.

^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)
No. I rarely use it and it's switched off at the electrical box, therefore not a possibility.
Precisely why I took a photograph because many wouldn't believe it if I said it without evidence.
I also don't have heaters, fans, air conditioning or anything of the sort.
Also, my photograph was just after 08:30 while people looking at that website now aren't getting temperatures at that time in many locations.
I picked it up and held it to take the photograph from its ornamental base. It's not my fault if the sunlight was shining through the room from outside.
Whatever that's supposed to mean.
That's good. Cold water is the grouse!
Who are you to pass judgment when you don't live here? Do you know the unique circumstances of the premises? Of course not.
Nope.
Hope you find a way to stay cool today.
Yes, it's certainly better than some of those weeks where we had 100mm or more of rain a day.
Who? Mr Magoo? Cliff Young?
Op sticks thermometer in an unshaded window facing due east “ wow it’s a scorcher today”
I assume he means Outdoors because if its 48 inside his house it must be in the 60's+ outside
But it is your fault using this to show an incorrect temp. A full blast of sun all morning, but it’s ‘aLrEaDy A sCoRchEr’. Don’t be a twat.
Move

air con will be running mate
It was so hot today where I'am the thermometer burst at fhe top as the liquid stuff exploded oit of the glass.
Naw, it would be indoors, in an east-facing room with windows. It'll be like a greenhouse in the morning.
You must make a lot of assumptions.
It's definitely indoors, not out.
I never use 'he/his' pronouns so you got that wrong as well.
I'm not going to reveal my precise location but it's definitely in the Sydney metropolitan area, established well more than a century ago.
It gets very hot in the morning sunlight, even at around 06:30/07:00 it can get pretty warm on some days.
You can't assume that it will be always hotter outside.
It depends on the premises; why do you think people go outside to get fresh air when it's stuffy inside? It can be cooler out than in, in certain circumstances.
How can you say it was an incorrect temperature when you and everyone else weren't here?
What I showed was factual. I only deal in facts.
You don't know the unique circumstances of my residence.
As for calling me names, so immature.
