Lyrebird Mimics Every Thing – BBC Video
|
Amazing! This animal can imitate the call of at least 20 different bird species but that’s nothing compared to the fact that it can mime the sound made by photo camera shutters, car alarms or even saws and chainsaws. The Superb Lyrebird (Menura Novaehollandiae) is a pheasant-sized songbird, up to 100 cm long, with brown upper body plumage, grayish brown below, rounded wings and strong legs. It is the longest and third heaviest of all songbirds. |

You doubters out there are just that…if Rich Little can impersonate most ANY voice, why not a bird?
This is one of the gifts of nature, one of God’s creatures.
Amazing.
I’m an aussie and the fact that this bird can copy any sound is well known. It can imitate chainsaws and many various sounds. i’v heard one imitate my car back firing xD. the fact that it sounds so real does make people doubt the Authenticity of this amazing creature but it is real and it does do that.. come camping in the South Aussie bush and u will hear it… Truly Remarkable
