The Lyrebird



This is the most creative bird on the planet!!! The ground dwelling Austrailian bird mimics natural and artificial sounds from their enviroment with pinpoint accuracy. It mimics other birds and animals of course but, it also imitates the sound of a chainsaw from 'nearby loggers'. Pretty slick! Good show!

"In April 2006, to celebrate naturist Richard Attenborough's 80th birthday, the public were asked to vote on their favourite of his television moments. This clip of the lyrebird was voted number one. "
