Tb<? ecmta of the peacock _ can be heard a mile away, hut the noisiest bi.*o in the world Is the cockatoo. A single bird can make a din which would drown a dozen claxon horns and dim toe soond of a steam whistle. A white bird at the London Zoo,- hailing from Brazil, is runner-up to the cockatoo. This is o bird known as the bell-bird, about the size of a pigeon. It lifts its head in the air and roak-'s a noise like the bang of a hammer on an anvil.
