Cockabindi

Cockabindi is large bird from the Indian sub-continent whose call has been described as "harrowing" "blood-curdling" and "a sound inspiring mortal fear". Plumage resembles nothing other than a bundle of bright rags splashed with paint.

"In the unfortunate queue of species destined for early extinction, Cockabindi is surely at the front." - Mahatma Ghandi.
