[@Frogette]

In my opinion, the most haunting bird call is that of the last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō male. Not because it sounds scary, but just the absolutely depressing context. For those unaware, the recording of his call was just him singing with breaks for a female to join in. He didn't know that he was the last surviving of his species and I think that's truly haunting. He died in 1987.

[@ArghyadeepPal]

I came from a video of his last call

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

The concept of us driving entire species extinct is so horrific that for a long time even scientists refused to believe it was possible.

[@Frogette]

Imagine. You have zero idea your species is gone and you are the only one left. You call out hoping someone will answer. You keep calling out over and over again but no one is there. You do not know if your kind is gone only from this place. So if you could you try to move around and keep calling. Even when you die you will may not know that you are the last humans probably still believing that people in other countries must still exist atleast.

The black-footed albatross’ call is similar to that of a velociraptor. Yes, that’s almost what raptors sounded like!

Mainly at 0:29 with the shrieking In fact, a few of these calls were indeed used in the reconstruction of dinosaur vocalisations.

This past summer, we had about two to three Barred Owls living in my backyard, and at night it sounded like a bunch of monkeys freaking out back there. A few interesting things I learned about Barred Owls are that they love making random sounds and will come to check you out and respond if you call to them and they are sometimes out during the day (my sister and I got to see one) which meant we got to witness how big it was-almost two feet tall with a four foot wingspan. Really cool birds.

[@Awakeningspirit20]

That’s amazing, also local for me! We have this bog garden where at least 4 live and they get so territorial. They’re out in the day but you have to look. In the evening they’re very active and begin making harsh hisses and shrieks at each other. They put on quite the show for the crowd but began scaring the ducks and I thought there was going to be a war, especially with how they dive-bombed the ducks. When you heard the barred owl you know the gettings good and you’re out in nature!

The ostrich is eerie but the buttonqual is terrifyingly haunting

[@KawaiiHippityHop-cl5bb]

I think ostrich is the most terrifying because it literally sounds like the Julia sound in the ocean

[@stephaniemcmahon3808]

And the mourning dove is forever the OG of haunting calls to me. Hence their name ..

[@V.U.4six]

Really? Always thought they sounded cool and I used to think they were owls when I was little lmao

[@stephaniemcmahon3808]

@@V.U.4six I used to think they were owls too. They do sound cool. Maybe haunting was the wrong term. Kinda sound like they’re in ‘mourning’ But I love them. I open my window and they come flocking to my front door and start calling to me. “Feed me now now nowww” ☺️

[@stephaniemcmahon3808]

@klee I always thought they were called morning doves myself lol. I love their gentle coos, so soothing. Can’t mimic them. I can mimic cardinals and chickadees though! Love my birds 🐦💜

[@aylajanestephens5305]

They are called “mourning doves”, because they mate for life and often times the male birds are hunted, and their “wives” will coo much louder than normal as if they’re in mourning. Hopes this clears things up a bit :) (definitely haunting when there are many of them crying at once) (poor birds)

[@stephaniemcmahon3808]

@@aylajanestephens5305 Seems all birds mate for life. So admirable. I don’t get why people hunt them. They’re doves. How small does your wanker need to be that killing doves makes you feel like a man? Ugh…some humans.

[@AnActualRedPanda]

The sight of a Great Potoo sitting on a fence with haunt me for all time. Not to mention their distant call sounds like a high-pitched scream

[@kenpoarniceguy1]

This makes all those ghosts make more sense.

I love the laughing kookaburra because I’m from Australia and it’s just so relaxing to me. Grey go away bird IS ADORABLEEE. Tbh none of these were haunting to me. Birds calls are music, songs. It’s beauty in every click, whistle and Gweeeee. It’s mature at it’s work and every call is just something I’ll never forget, even when I leave this world. The beauty of sound.

[@wishmakr]

Haunting was a great word to put in the title. If I heard most of these sounds at night in the woods, I would have no idea they were coming from a bird.

[@AJanae.]

We have tons of barred owls around our house! I love when they talk to each other

[@oishidas443]

calling them haunting gives them a different feeling

[@mrs.stefonmeyers7156]

Yah, I agree that hearing them in a KZbin video isn't that scary, but an owl if I were in a forest at 3 am would scare me shitless

[@dynosaurrrr]

@@mrs.stefonmeyers7156 the real thing that should scare you shitless is the reason youre out in the woods at 3am

[@oishidas443]

I really appreciate that you didn’t add commentary and stretch the video

[@phylk4683]

So kewl 👍👏👏 Imagine in the pitch dark in a forest and hearing some of these… you would think there are monsters and ghosts about even aliens

[@graphite2786]

Thanks for uploading! I thought this was going to be one of those heartbreaking collections of extinct bird calls and songs. Pleasantly surprised :)

[@Retired20244]

One of my favorite haunting bird calls I heard in real life was that of a flock of Curlews here in Ireland, if you can please feature them! Their whistles are so melodic and eerie on foggy cold Irish mornings

[@Wumbo85]

5:14 It sounds like a bunch of kids that saw something lol

[@littlerascal69]

Dang I was waiting for a Loon or at least a Shoebill Stork

[@AnaGeorgescuArt]

Wow! But I would it's rather amazing than scary or haunting :D In the end the title attracted me, so it did it's job :D

Others can be Magnificent Frigate Bird Screech Owl Common Loon Cassowary Pileated Woodpecker

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

Good choices, especially the loon. That one will scare the bjebers out of anyone.

[@sarab3888]

I don't know why but I find the cassowary rumble to be relaxing. It's like having a pet cat sit on your chest purring.

[@KawaiiHippityHop-cl5bb]

@@Gunners_Mate_GunsI actually think looney calls are more beautiful than scary

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

@@KawaiiHippityHop-cl5bb I think of the loon call as eerily beautiful. I've heard them in my part of the country (central midwest) occasionally.

[@rsstnnr76]

You should include the Loon.

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

Damn straight. The king of scary bird calls.

[@YeahMcMad]

Check out the Bushstone Curlew. In particular ones from Magnetic Island/Townsville, also their hissing sound when they feel threatened.

[@SteampunkHorse]

I definitely hear the channel billed cuckoo daily but I never knew the name of the bird making the calls! Very educational, thank you!
