In general, the bird is a master of vibrato; it uses a monotonic and soothing trill to converse with its kin, too.

As part of two new projects – MISTIC SEAS II (a continuation of our work for LIFE EuroSAP) and LuMinAves (to mitigate light pollution affecting seabirds in the Macaronesian archipelagos) – we returned to the islet, determined to solve the mystery of ‘The seabird that barks like a dog’.Once again, the Monteiro storm-petrels showed us the way. The most commonly heard call of the Barking Owl is a double note ‘woof-woof’ which sounds quite similar to a dog’s bark. Though this little petrel, with its remarkably long wingspan (an impressive 78-90cm for a body length under 30cm), is already known to frequent the Azores islets of Praia and Baixo off the beautiful ‘White Island’ of Graciosa, the distinctive ‘We were on Baixo that day to analyse the status of the Monteiro’s Storm-petrel Finally, this year, we were able to find more conclusive answers.

If it's mimicking, then pbr-streetgang is right, but there's a few more species that can do that too like macaws, cockatoos, and parakeets. Yet, until then, the only known colony of Bulwer petrel to have a breeding population was on the islet of Vila. (Males usually call at a lower pitch than females.) Map of the Azores Probably trying to mess with your dog's... got you instead. Although fairly common throughout much of northern Australia, the Barking Owl has been affected by the clearing of woodlands in the south and is considered ‘vulnerable’ in NSW and is now The most commonly heard call of the Barking Owl is a double note ‘woof-woof’ which sounds quite similar to a dog’s bark. We decided to change strategy and place our mist-net at the site of our first happy ‘accident’ in 2015. And for the simple reason that this sound – like the bark of a small dog – is only made by young petrels in the nest. The screech-owls out West, meanwhile, have a call that sounds more like an errant bouncy ball. It depends if your question refers to a mimicking sound or a natural barking sound.

The Congo African Grey mimicked some dog barks and upset a neighbor. Now, we must wait for the chicks to hatch (any day now!)
