That a call from the Dardanelles poster would be a good addition to this article if someone can find an image of it. --Ptcamn 22:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning the audio album "Cooee" by Paul Taylor and Don Spencer would also be an excellent addition. It gives a great audio rendition of the Cooee and also describes the history, mentioning that in folklore it was the only sound that they lyrebird couldn't imitate. The album has won 6 national awards and serves as a good introduction to Aussie culture. DDDDDDDDDD

Adding an audio clip of the cooee would be helpful too. --Anonymous, 12:05 14 Dec 2009 (CET)

Cooee and Sooee / Sooie / Sooey[edit]

Has anyone ever commented on the similarity between the cooee and the traditional American hog-call? Aside from the beginning consonant, they sound almost identical. Is it due to the constraints imposed by the need to be heard over long distances, is it part of some older tradition of long-distance calling, or is it just a coincidence?

Lady Chatterley's Lover[edit]

The call coo-ee is also mentioned in D.H. Lawrence's Novel Lady Chatterley's Lover. Connie and her husband Clifford use it while they are on a walk in the park. It is mentioned to be a ritual from their earlier happy days. --Stilfehler (talk) 00:56, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
