Birds of a feather...

Well, I was playing around with my new mobile phone (well new as in since I moved to NZ) and I wanted to put a unique ringtone on it. scrolled through my service provider's list of dowloads, but at $4.95 a pop I wasn't too keen on paying for something probably a thousand others had themselves. Now the person that sits in the office next to me at work has a cricket chirp as his ringtone - yeah not that original, but not too annoying (better than a cheesy action movie theme!!!). Anyway, got me thinking I wanted something along those lines, and I struck upon getting a Mopoke Owl (aka boobook, morepork or Ninox sp if you really wanted to get technical!). With a bit of searching, I was able to download a mopoke, whipbird and kookaburra - and all for free!! So I set the mopoke as my general ringtone and the whipbird as a text message tone. The kookaburra I saved for when my family calls me - which isn't very often, otherwise I'm sure the good ole laughing would start to grate on everyone's nerves after a while...
