Unlikely, "how you doin" is american, we aussies say "ow's it goin". The Lyre bird is one of my favorites, there's still wild ones in the mountains near where I live although cats have become a major problem since the suburbs of Melbourne started encroaching on the foothills.

06eric Careful with the stereotype talk though, especially regarding Japan which usually just provided a technology alternative, basically being competition and the copy talk coming from 'sore losers' who glorify a competitive market until they don't dominate it anymore. (Typical immature Western-capitalist mindset.) Various Western countries copied whole base technologies and called them their invention. ('Copying' is a part of all technology development and is building on the foundation that has been laid before.) Few people want to hear that Toyota had a hydrogen-powered car in the '80s and that their trucks were driving with clean exhaust technology long before it was a big topic in the West. This is also not limited to technology, but also affects social design. The topic of equal rights for women for example kinda shows how backwards our supposedly modern society is, because it developed only recently in our history, while it already existed in Ancient Egypt for example. That's thousands of years ago. Shall we talk about all the stuff the world 'copied' from ancient imperial China? ;-) And hey, if it's about the more brazen product releases that can actually be confused with a previous one or which don't really add anything new, we could talk about Apple, haha.

[@neilhamill318]

The sounds of the construction workers are from a nearby new panda enclosure. The chainsaw was used to cut and shape the climbing trees and remove the foliage.

[@wey1381]

I'm pretty sure this is footage of Chook, who lived in Adelaide Zoo for his whole life. He learned the construction noises from the building of new enclosures and the renovation of his own. I heard him a few times and while he pulled out the construction noises a few times, he tended to mimic the noises of the other zoo animals more

@Conflux Yeah thank you I was thinking construction when in fact it's logging which is way more dangerous. Duh. It appears to be like 100 deaths per 100,000. But it's not just deaths. Medical advancements have come a long way and worker first aid training saves a ton of lives. Way more people get maimed and seriously injured than die in both logging and construction.
