The lyrebird from Australia is adept at mimicing the sounds in its environment, be they kookooburros kookaburras, camera shutters, or the sound of its own impending doom.

The Life of Birds is such an amazing series...when we watched the part about the lyrebird I had to play it back two or three times for hubs, he was astounded at its talent.

some quick research indicates that the standard spelling is ‘kookaburra’.

and yeah, the thing with the chainsaws is pretty unnerving.

I liked the camera myself. It's quite impressive how good an impression it does. I wonder if it or African Gray parrots are better at imitating.
