A corroboree is an Australian Aboriginal assembly of a festive or sacred nature. It can also be a warlike or aggresive display, similar to the Maori haka. You can contact Australian Indigenous associations to discover where you can see a corroboree produced for public display. The term corroboree is also applied to any noisy gatherings, and especially to the gatherings of a native honeyeater, the noisy miner, which has a large vocabulary and conducts corroborees which are, as is clear from the name of the bird, very noisy. Noisy miners alert other bird species to the presence of predators and it is not at all unusual in Australia to see them, along with magpies and butcherbirds, flocking into a tree making a terrible racket; this will indicate a python is up there somewhere after nests.
