Thanks to Nadya for forwarding this amazing video. The wondrous lyrebird here mimics camera shutters and motor, the kookaburra, and even car alarms amongst other amazing noises. Nature is truly remarkable. Who needs theme parks?
And, sadly, it also mimics chain saws. This beautiful bird is one of the best reminders and advertisements for conservation. Just thought I’d add that comment in. (Luckily, it doesn’t mimic my singing, that would really hit discordant notes :D )

On the contrary dear friend, delighted you could find a few things of interest and to reciprocate as your blog is a great read :) Btw the write up on your post was good, incl. the fact that the lyrebird features on our ten cent piece.
