A lyrebird at Healesville Sanctuary, Victoria, Australia, showing off his mimicking skills. A camera shutter, a siren, a video game... What else can you identify?
What gets me with this bird is just how baffling it is that it hears sounds and they are stored somewhere in the brain, then able to be played back with ridiculous accuracy, just incredible.
I lived near some Lyre birds ( i think there were two). was very hot at night in summer so slept with the window open, the buggers learnt my alarm sound, so could be having a nap sometimes, and there goes the alarm, and me trying to turn it off. Amazing birds.
Put a group of them together and you'll have a full-on space war

DON'T let this bird watch an x-rated movie at your house and then have your parents come over.
Every time she stops after shooting lasers: "Target eliminated"
All I need in my life is a bed, a chair, a guitar... and a lyrebird.
the one that caught me off guard the most was the bird perfectly mimicking a Kookaburra
Dayum, this bird is not even reloading. It has activated the ammo cheat code
So they only copy the most annoying sounds they hear. No chance of ever hearing it copy a symphony any time soon.
It's weird that all the videos of lyrebirds are all of this particular lyrebird.
did someone take this bird to a lazer tag arena tf
