Amazing! Bird sounds from the lyre bird - David Attenborough - BBC wild...

Whilst on holiday last Easter I was lucky enough to spend a day exploring the Kuringai National Park just to the North of Sydney. My main aim was to find and hear this bird - a truly amazing mimic. For a relatively large bird - leggy chicken proportions - they can be very hard to see, particularly when they are in thick undergrowth. The one I saw was actually imitating noisy miners and whip birds and only emerged after about half an hour of standing completely still on the track. I got some fairly poor video footage of what looks like some bushes singing. This David Attenborough clip is far better.
