Dawuy and Ngaymil sing this bird Dhuduthudu (Frogmouth) together and it joins their two clans. They also connect to Galpu and Djambarrpuyngu through this law. Its country is near Yangunbi and is known as Warrathiri or Munumbal. Elders have said that it is not deep law but just something that they sing and dance.
