Insect Direct Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Anyone else noticed this? I think theyre just warming up. As they make little chirpy noises (like a bird almost) with the odd grunty half hearted croak (hard to explain). They seem to get set off when my litoria aurea croak but still waiting to hear the full blown whistle....will get them on camera one of these days. Prob is as soon as they see/hear me coming they seem to stop. Maybe im hearing things :lol: Fascinating little frogs, seem to be trying to imitate the l. aurea which i find interesting.
