I heard this bird today that I didn't recognise. There's probably a birding lemmy but I thought I'd try here first. The audio quality sucks but its a continuous warble that decreases in pitch over about 2 seconds.

A swallow straining under the weight of a coconut.

Perhaps if he grips it by the husk?

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
