Lyre Bird

Hey hey! My life is so lifeless that I have to talk about wildlife in this post.


Well, actually it's not that bad la. My brother showed me a video few weeks ago and I think that it's interesting to share with everyone.

There's some bird named Lyre Bird that has this special fan-shaped tail that absorb the sound from the environment and imitate the sound. Okay, sounds that they are able to imitate: individual songs of other birds and the chatter of flocks of birds, and also mimic other animals, human noises, machinery of all kinds, explosions, and musical instruments. The Lyre Bird is capable of imitating almost any sound — from a mill whistle to a cross-cut saw, and, not uncommonly, sounds as diverse as chainsaws, car engines and car alarms, fire alarms, rifle-shots, camera shutters, dogs barking and crying babies.


So, there you go. Watch to believe it. :)
