I'm not at all familiar with the sounds of African birds although, judging by the background sounds in your videos, they're every bit as weird as the ones in Australia - a far cry (pun intended) from the 'tweets' I grew up with in Canada!
Your drawing is spot on, beautiful.

We recorded them in the tree right after the monitor disappeared. They are very vocal.



Will have to wait for Wayne to fix the video link again.
