Oooow, Pelle, not off hand. However, I can find out. Yes, it's very hard to describe sound and the magpies and butcher birds have to be heard to be believed. It is so loud and so melodic. When the butcher birds are in full song, they force their wings downwards to their bodies from a semi-spread position, as if trying to pump the most gorgeous melody out. I have seen on U-tube David Attenborough observing and commenting on a Superb Lyrebird. They are the most brilliant mimics. We don't have Lyrebirds in WA and they are called Lyrebirds because of prominent tail feather that look like a lyre.

This is a really lousy shot of the Grey Butcher Bird that we give supplementary feed to because of its dislocated leg.
