The weirdest bird call I have ever heard in real life is a Barred Owl:

They scream and laugh at you. And it's at night so you'll be laying in bed and hear this outside.

This little fellow visits the tree outside my office window sometimes. He's got the strangest scratchy call. I was afraid to get too close and scare him off.

Sorta, ruffs have three different kinds of males. Most of them look like those pictures and maintain a small territory where they try to attract females (territorial males). Another type of male (satellite males) have a white plumage and sneaks around the edges of other males' territories and tries to mate with the females. A third, much rarer variant of male (cryptic males) have female plumage and uses this to "infiltrate" territories.

Now that is really interesting, considering that there is a species of lizard that has evolved the exact same way:
