1. (countable); (onomatopoeic), (music) A didgeridoo is a long and straight, wooden wind instrument that Australian Aborigines traditionally use. Roughly the size of a man, it produces sound when you continuously blow into it.

   While playing didgeridoo, you can imitate some natural sounds such as bird songs.
