There isn't one single bird that "cries" the most, but birds known for loud, mournful, or baby-like calls include the Bush Stone-curlew (haunting night screams), the Wedge-tailed Shearwater (mimics baby cries), and the Limpkin, nicknamed the "crying bird" for its distinct wail, while the White Bellbird has the loudest mating call at 125 dB, though it's a scream, not a cry.
When it comes to choosing a mate, female white bellbirds won't settle for just any guy—they want a male that sings louder than any other bird in the world. In a recent study, researchers measured the volume of white bellbirds' mating songs and found the males belted out their loudest ones at about 125 decibels.
The Australian bird famous for its eerie, high-pitched screams at night is the Bush Stone-curlew (or Bush Thick-knee), whose call sounds like a wailing woman or baby, often startling people into thinking it's a human in distress.

The "boom" vocalization that cassowaries produce is the lowest-frequency bird call known and is at the lower limit of human hearing. Recent study suggests that casque acts as a thermal radiator, offloading heat at high temperatures and restricting heat loss at low temperatures.
The Golden Whistler belongs to the Family Pachycephalidae, which means 'thick-head' after the group's robust necks and heads. This species is one of Australia's loudest and most beautiful songsters.
Historically, swifts have been known as "The Devil's Bird" - probably because of their inaccessibility and thus, just like owls, they attract more folklore than good natural history. But of course, it's not their nocturnal nature which keeps them beyond the reach of our early investigations.

When birds cry!and yes they do, for 2 known reasons pain especially around the head and to heal an eye injury or irritation it is not known wether they produce tears for sadness or not . They haven't got tear ducts the same way we have but the tears are the same chemicals as ours.
The Northern Mockingbird is typically the culprit in these all-night song marathons. Mockingbirds that sing all night long tend to be young, still-unattached males or older males who have lost their mate, and so the best way to shut him up is to entice a female mockingbird to your yard, too.

Spotted Catbirds are named for their bizarre cat-like wailing calls (some say it sounds more like a baby crying!) which are a common sound of both lowland and higher altitude rainforests within their range. This species is especially vocal at dawn and dusk.
So birds certainly possess the capacity to mourn—they have the same brain areas, hormones, and neurotransmitters as we do, “so they too can feel what we feel,” Marzluff says—but that doesn't mean we know when it's happening.
It was the call of the last known Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird, a male singing in vain for a mate who would never come. This poignant moment marked the end of a species, a heartbreaking reminder of the fragility of life and the impact of human activity on the natural world.
