Australian bird

I once read in an old book, about a bird living somewhere in the S part of the continent whose cry (at night?) was truly bloodcurdling.


Can anybody put a name to it please?

Click here for an encyclop�dia website about the "devil-bird", although it refers to south Asia rather than Australia specifically. Even something as apparently simple as a barn-owl makes 'terrifying' shrieking sounds. The Tasmanian Devil - although no bird - which is certainly south Australian, got its name partly because of its bloodcurdling night-time noises.
