I remember the first time that I heard Tchaikovsky´s Swan Lake. There was a sound that sent warm cascades of pure pleasure throughout my body. That was the day I discovered the oboe.
The Ha-de-da bird has just that sound. If you have not been acquainted with it as yet, prepare to be enchanted. This bird´s calls sound like ¨Ha-ha¨, and due to its long beak, the sound massages your ears and entrances your mind like the most beautiful oboe symphony. It is not the prettiest bird; with a hauntingly beautiful sound like that, it does not need to be pretty. Ornithologists, bird-watchers, and nature-lovers, come to South Africa to delight at its wonderful chorus in the skies.
