I am sure at least one person on this site has been to the Melbourne zoo, Victoria, and anyone who has been there will know that there is a constant bell like high pitched beep! Kinda sound, I really would love to know what makes it, I am sure it is a bird, but I can never seem to find it! And it does not sound like a bellbird, but anyone who knows what it is, please inform me!
tree sparrow?
or could it be one of the exhibit species?
I initially thought tree sparrow or ally's, but the sound is much sweeter and not as thin as a tree sparrow

Blackbirds make a high pitched beep sound, I always think the phone is ringing.
you could be onto something, greg
or else could it be a related species, the famous melbourne zoo song thrushes?

I listened to both blackbird and song thrush calls, neither are similar, I will have to get a recording
