[@Dasyurid]

Right after the R2D2, that laughing sound was a kookaburra call. And a really good one too.

[@kevinpaine7893]

Those camera sounds are likely to be from the lyrebird itself. They have been recorded imitating cameras, car alarms and even chainsaws.

[@madyottoyotto3055]

That wasn't a lyre bird it was a Scouse pub Friday night 😂

[@barneysumner1417]

While these lyre birds were impressive they're put to shame by the birds in david Attenborough's film. It's easy to find on Google

[@petethundabox5067]

This video shows a picture of each bird the lyrebird is mimicking the calls of. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jobZh6ahrraHqqc

[@stevemurrell6167]

Yes, the laughing sound it is mimicking is a pitch perfect Kookaburra call. They will also mimic man made sounds like camera shutters, camera motor winds, chainsaws, childrens toys (incl. R2D2!), car alarms, hammers hammering, crosscut saws, babies crying.....pretty much anything they hear.....and do it perfectly.

[@gomezgomezian3236]

Yes! The footage of a lyrebird mimicking a human baby crying is quite astounding! But it does make me wonder about the explanation regarding the sulphur crested cockatoos. If a single bird in captivity can learn to mimic a baby crying, why would the cockatoo be a problem with 30 or 40 years exposure?

[@HandmadeDarcy]

I'm Australian and have seen a lyrebird live, and so many videos of them but watching it make the kookaburra call has me all discombobulated! It reminded me of the first time I ate a yellow cherry tomato - properly surreal!

[@slaygor5930]

When I was a kid (35 - 40 years ago), I once heard one mimicking gunshots.

[@oneday458]

I've seen vids of them imitating cell phone ring and text tones.

[@letsseeif]

@@HandmadeDarcy Same experience (Melbourne).

[@waynejones1054]

Hi Ladies, great reaction. If you liked this, you absolutely have to see the David Attenborough clip on the Lyrebird. It has to be seen/heard to be believed - honest. It includes the bird mimicking a chainsdaw, among other things!👍👍

[@Simon-hb9rf]

its an amazing clip to show the range of non-animal sounds they can make too, especially the sounds of the tree falling during the chainsaw impression. ive included a link below to the clip for those that want to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4SlaGSgg9Zgr7M

[@Mollusc1954]

Some lyrebirds near parking lots in national parks have learned the sound of car alarms...

[@tempsitch5632]

And the camerman’s shutters and clicks.

[@davidhines68]

The first time I saw the Attenborough clip, I was sure that I was being pranked. The chain saw sound was so real that I thought it had to be a mockumentary.

[@jimdenbe1]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4SlaGSgg9Zgr7M

[@LikkieAU]

The reason they’re called lyrebirds is because the shape of their tail feathers is reminiscent of the arms of a lyre (musical instrument)

[@Quinctili]

The car alarm, chain saw and baby crying crack me up.

[@MonstaAU]

[@AnimeWolf56]

So I work at a wildlife sanctuary in Vic, Australia, and we have a resident Lyrebird. He loves to sing and dance for visitors this time of year, and he has quiet the interesting noise selection due to all the things around the sanctuary, including construction sounds, sounds used in our bird show, and he even shared his cage with a bower bird (another mimic) for a while, and they taught each other some noises! Also, those extra animals at the start, in order are a male King Parrot, Crimson Rosellas, Swamp Wallaby, and Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo! Then at 16:28 we have some Grey Kangaroos and a little Eastern Yellow Robin.

[@triarb5790]

Prior to the 2009 fires, I know that lyrebirds in Kinglake used to make the sound of old double handled manual tree saws from a hundred years ago. The sound being passed down from adult to chicks! I don't know how many, if any, lyrebirds survived that awful day. Do you?

[@AnimeWolf56]

@@triarb5790 so it has actually been documented in bad bushfires like around Kinglake, Lyrebirds take cover in underground spaces, usually wombat burrows. So while not all escape the flames a good number do

CRIMSON Rosellas not "scarlet" FFS

[@stevepollard2571]

Do the Sir David Attenborough version, they do chainsaws, camera shutters, all sorts, It’s crazy

[@hilliard665]

All these sounds are PERFECTLY mimicking specific birds, the crazy laugh is the laughing kookaburra,probably the most iconic Aussie bird tied with the emu and Australian magpie

[@jessaminedavis1526]

They are such good mimics and beautiful birds. I remember, at the end of last year, some lions escape their enclosure at Taronga Zoo (Sydney), which of course set off the evacuation alarm and it was all over the news, then a few days later, turned on the news to find out that the Zoo's resident Lyrebird (named Echo) had started using the alarm in his song, right down to even saying the words 'evacuate now', and this was not long after he had started using crying baby sounds. Truly amazing birds

[@alistairwhite2906]

There is nothing more relaxing or amazing, to sit deep in the Aussie bush, listening to Lyrebirds doing their thing!

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Where you thought the lyrebird was mimicking human laughter, it was actually mimicking the sound of a kookaburra, another iconic Australian bird.

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

Some folk still dont believe it's real. Sir David doesnt lie! 🙂🙃 Amazing bird ❤ ✌️

[@optimusvalerius8824]

After the Lyre Bird, ladies if your into birds that dance take a look at Australian Bower Birds or the Brolgas who are members of Crane family species .

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

@@optimusvalerius8824 Brolgas can be viscous buggers. There was one living in the street of some town in FNQ that made the news for wandering up and down the main street getting pissed off if he wasn't fed or shown attention.

[@Erizedd]

Just to let you know (and not many people know this): the snapping 'laser gun' sounds the bird makes is not actually a sound he's mimicking, but is actually the lyrebird's natural call. It's the only sound that is natural to that bird and not a mimic. 🙂

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

In Sydney earlier this year they had lion cubs escape there enclosure at the zoo, the zoo sounded an alarm and an emergency message to leave the zoo. By the next day the resident lyrebird was doing the alarm and message.

[@aussiebornandbred]

@ 10.35 he's not only mimicking 1 kookaburra but briefly 2 at the same time, amazing birds❤

[@LindaPerry-t5v]

Check out the end of David Attenbough's Life of birds. The lyrebird does chainsaws, cameras. Fabulous stuff.

[@Resavian]

This is the area I grew up in, and we could hear them singing all the time in breeding season. To say it was magical is to deny the true wonder of it

[@lindascott6902]

The one where Debbie stopped the video and asked if someone had been laughing in the Forest was the lyrebird mimicking a Kookaburra. They make that characteristic laugh - it’s a quintessentially Australian sound. The Kookaburra is a member of the Kingfisher family... you may enjoy videos of the Kookaburra too!

[@grandmothergoose]

Lyrebirds in zoos and sanctuaries in the major cities come out with some interesting sounds. They can accurately imitate sirens, alarms, camera shutter clicks, phone ring tones, the sounds of car doors opening and closing, as well as the sounds of the other birds both native and exotic, and some other animals they can hear from their enclosure. I have two favourite Australian birds: Wedge Tailed eagle, and Cassowary.

[@stuartgarfatth1448]

This post is Superb, in every way, shape and form! I'm a 73 year old Australian Male, and by heck, NEVER have I seen, in all my years, such beautiful, fabulous sounds and images as I've seen here. More than Brilliant!. Thank you two SO much!.

[@paulabourke6666]

A visit to my grandparents in the coastal bush, always included a symphony by the resident lyrebird. It could bark like a dog. It drove the dog crazy calling out her name. And one time, had an entire rescue crew searching for hours for what sounded like a crying child. They were not happy to discover that it was not a child that was responsible for the crying. 😅

[@brooka86]

The red/green bird is a king parrot, the red/blue bird is a rosella. The laughing call the lyrebird makes is a mimic of the kookaburra. The photo shutter noise you heard was also the lyrebird. They also make very convincing chainsaw calls.

[@adamparker9765]

I think I may have suggested this for you guys. Glad you like it. As the bloke said the Lyre bird did about 10 to 15 other birds right there . They copy whatever they are exposed to , like sounds from a construction site, cameras, and my grandfather heard one making the sound of a man chopping wood. For many years we never knew what the birds actual call was because it does every other bird . They are very pretty and elusive . Another fascinating Aussie bird is the Bower bird . The male builds a little nest and decorates it with blue objects and does a dance for the ladies . They are a beautiful metallic blue colour .

[@aybiss]

That's the best imitation of an Australian saying Melbourne that I've ever heard from an American. 👍

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

The biggest thing I missed from Australia when I had to live overseas was the birdsong in the morning, even in the suburbs it's so cool. My favorite is the whip birds call while the plover call always sends a cold shiver up my spine.

[@top40researcher31]

[@Rosebud4u1]

I love listening to the bell birds & maggies actually love all of our bird songs & calls... there was a whip bird call in all that!

[@allencrawford7728]

I've been to Australia. They have the best animals, birds, water animal s and plants. I love Australia. Barb thank you.

[@trevorpom]

They also mimic human noises like chainsaws, car alarms, camera shutters (which you mentioned) and people coughing. They are absolutely amazing. The calls I recognized are, Black cockatoo, Noisy minor, Whip bird, Currawong, Magpie, Kookaburra (the laughing), and Willy Wagtail and maybe Lorikeet. Birds are awesome and the dawn chorus in Australia is really something to experience.

[@davidmc105]

I think there was a crow in there as well.

[@trevorpom]

There probably was, there were a few in there I didn't recognize as I'm from Queensland and they're in the south of the country. I think a couple of those parrots like the Rosella are in there too, but we don't get them up here so I'm not sure what their calls sound like.@@davidmc105

You know how sometimes coincidences happen and they mean nothing to anyone but yourself but they’re so odd you feel you have to tell someone? So I’m reading a new nature book to my 6 year old yesterday at bedtime and it has a section on tropical birds (not the Lyre bird though). So I tell him about this amazing naturalist whose work I was brought up on in the UK in the 80s and who introduced many of us to some of the amazing, little-known creatures we share this planet with. Then I bring up some of David Attenborough’s videos on YT and the first one we watch is a 14 year old upload from a 1990s show where David Attenborough tells us all about the Lyre Bird. My 6 year old LOVES it - especially the camera shutter and chainsaw sounds and proceeds to show his mum and brothers the same video twice this evening. We have a chuckle and move on. Then 3 hours later, this shows up in my subscriptions feed. The chances of that happening are not zero, but they’re not a LOT higher than zero… Sometimes those coincidences are hard to accept as being pure chance… Looking forward to this one, ladies. :)

I love the lyrebird. My favourite bird sounds is that of the Whipbird , but my favourite bird of all time is the family pet Cockatoo "Cockie" he has been in the family for 40 years . He learnt to mimic not only Dads voice but his whistle as well , being a farmer Dad controlled his dogs via whistle...you can image the dogs confusion when Dad whistled one order than Cockie another .😅

[@BrettWilliamson]

I live in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. The Lyrebird is here too and we see and hear them regularly. There is even one in the bush on the other side of our street. You know they are there firstly by their scratching of the ground searching for food and then the Lyrebird call. They are fantastic to see and hear. The male has gorgeous feathers. They adorn our 10c coin.

[@DavidCalvert-mh9sy]

They can apparently mimic a chain saw perfectly.

[@luciebatt]

I live very close to the forest in the video. I’ll never forget going on a walk there when I was a child. I kept hearing a car revving the engine and jumped off the track because I thought I was about to be run over. It wasn’t until after that I realised no cars could get in there and it must have been a lyrebird. It sounded identical!

[@Bobbydazzlla]

Kookaburra, Whip bird, Currawong, motor on camera, Black Cockatoo, Finches and various different Parrots from what I could hear. It's name comes from those incredible tail feathers - they are shaped like the musical instrument, the Lyre.

[@carolniven6223]

Hi Ladies! The Lyrebird gets its name from the shape of the tail plumage. When it is held upright like a peacock tail, it looks like a Lyre (musical instrument) complete with "strings". The laughter is a copy of the kookaburra's call. That sound that the old "African" movies used to get lampooned about (Tarzan, Jungle Jim etc) as kookaburras are only native to Australia and NOT Africa. The red and blue parrots are one form of rosellas. Many Australian birds can sound like many other things. I also noted whip birds in the audio (similar to a whip cracking). I still remember my poor father just after he bought his brand-new car and I was a little kid at the time (not yesterday). We went down bellbird gully to see and hear the bellbirds. Poor dad couldn't figure out where the squeaking in his brand-new car was coming from, so he stopped the car and searched all around it scratching his head. While bellbirds can sound like a crystal bell they can also sound like squeaking. You should also check out the video of the lyrebird (don't have its URL currently) where the bird mimics a space invaders machine, a camera with a motor drive, a chainsaw etc. You should also check out video of New Guinea Birds of Paradise, a lot of them pull long tails over heads to display

[@michaelmclachlan1650]

The kookaburra's call was also used in the opening scenes of 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' - set in the Amazonian rainforest!

Our 'teacher' was concerned that kids would be out unsupervised at that hour but no worries it was a Lyrebird doing an incredible job of mimicking kids at play!

I love the kookaburra and the whip bird calls.

Lyre birds are so good at mimicking *any* sound. They can mimick buses, motor bikes, chainsaws, automatic cameras...and even human babies, and they sound absolutely real. I live in the Kinglake Ranges & my favourite bird fequents here: The King Parrot. They are GLORIUS & super friendly which is sometimes to their detrement. They are brave & funny which makes them easy prey. Google them. They're so so beautiful. Red chest = male; Green chest = female. I love em & they come year after year to show off their babies. xx Linda

Can't say that I am a 'bird person', but that was truly entertaining and amazing. Ok Aussies, give you bragging rights on that one.

So cool, loved it...and I'm an Aussie, so I get to hear them (I live in rainforest) don't get to see them often.

I have seen and heard lyrebirds calling like these ones, an amazing experience here in eastern Australia.
