Question REALLY ANNOYING GARDEN BIRD!!!

Does anyone know what it might be, we only started noticing it just before Christmas, it sounds like....ok here goes....my rubbish way of describing it....a rusty gate creaking?!?!?!?! It's a very faint yet irritating noise, I can't see the bird that is making the noise, but if I did, I'd be smacking it across the head and telling it to SH** THE F*** UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! lol

Possibly a King Parrot.

Sounds perhaps like a rusty children's swing back and forth?

Wattle bird? Satin bower birds can make strange noises as well.

You're getting stacks of help here Jen

I haven't got a clue but when you find out, I'll say 'that's the one I was thinking of'.
