We have two kinds of whistling kite. One with a fork tail which we mostly call Buludjirr and sometimes Marram. The other one has a round tail and we just call it Marram. Whistling Kite eats fish and other animals that are dead and rotten. Sometimes it will eat a dead fish floating on the water or laying on the bank. Whistling Kite eats anything that dies and gets rotten, like dead buffaloes, pigs and kangaroos. We see lots of them sitting on trees and on the ground waiting, or flying around up in the sky. We call them Marram but sometimes people call them the other names like Nawurrkbil but it’s still the same bird.
