The Lyrebird

Posted on June 16th, 2006

You have to check out this clip of David Attenborough doing a documentary about the Lyrebird. This bird likes to imitate the sounds of other birds, and even man-made sounds. Their elaborate songs are used to court females - this clip has the bird copying the sound of a camera shutter, forestry noises and a car alarm. Very trippy. Puts the noise-making-guy from Police Academy to shame.
