MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: CANADA GOOSE vs. WHITE BELLBIRD
IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have an opponent feared across the land for its unbeatable fighting spirit, the canada goose!
you can almost feel the ground shake with every step it takes as it enters the ring. brought back from the brink of extinction, this bulky powerhouse has become a staple across north america, where it terrorizes college students walking to campus and anyone who gets too close to its pond. this bird's call is a powerful and deep "honk" that will surely strike fear into anyone unlucky enough to get on this goose's bad side.
IN THE RED CORNER, we have the tornado siren of the bird world. give it up for the loudest bird ever recorded, the white bellbird!
coming in hot at 125 decibels, the white bellbird's alarming call is a force to be reckoned with. it's the loudest bird call ever recorded, well within the pain threshold of humans. but tonight, it's here to show that it's not just a loudmouth - this is a bird that is a true championship contender. will the white bellbird be able to blast its way to victory? only time will tell.

Remember to read about the contestants before voting!
Chimney Swift
The chimney swift, as it’s name suggests, roosts largely in chimneys. In fact, they rarely roost in hollow trees anymore, their original natural roost. They are also one of the reasons that we study birds with by behavior. Althea Sherman began to study this bird through observation, unlike many of her fellow ornithologists who would study birds by dissecting them. She even commissioned a large, chimney like structure to be built, with stairs in the middle and peepholes so that she could fully observe these birds. She spent 15 years studying chimney swifts.

White Bellbird
The loudest bird in the world, the White Bellbird is a familiar face for a lot of bird lovers as it’s become popular in recent years. They are only found in a small range of South America, and feed mainly on fruits. The females are not white at all, and are actually more of an olive color. I actually am having trouble finding more information on the white bellbird so if anyone has some fun facts please let me know! Learn More!

BRACKET D
White Bellbird (Procnias albus)
Loudest bird ever. Holy shit they sound like fucking alarms. Please watch a video of these things screaming.
VERSUS
Kiwi (genus Apteryx)
They have no wings, their eggs are fucking massive. Their feathers are like fur. They have huge whiskers. They’re nocturnal. Basically they’re rodents if rodents were birds.

BOTD: White Bellbird
^ photo credit: Wikipedia
White Bellbird (procnias albus)
The White Bellbird is the world's loudest bird, whose fire alarm-like call can reach 125 decibels in volume. This record was previously held by the Screaming Piha with 116 decibels. Male White Bellbirds have a prominent black 'wattle' - like Roosters have on their heads - which dangles down the side of its beak.

It's been a while since I posted a Sonic OC, so here's Blare the White Bellbird.
He's 27 years old, enjoys walks through nature, and has a scream louder than a rock concert.
