the Lyrebird 2.avi

The bird that can imitate any voice that you want!

[@pistonpkm]

Nobody has ever explored the limits of lyrebird's repertoire? why?! Those are the most fascinating vocal chords i have ever heard!

[@maxgeorgalbers7294]

Yeah.

[@Mark147KTM]

I've heard the sounds of coal train carriages clashing together and the grunts of deers from a lyrebird near my home town. It freaked me out big time because there was no train around at the time!!

[@jean-lucgillium1607]

Un sacré bon imitateur de sons

[@ThunderChunky101]

They don't just do a kookaburra, but they do *two* of them arguing, even overlapping them!

[@ggayigeorge5141]

Almighty heavenly Father will always be praised

[@omerhasquinto2151]

I liked this. ☺️

[@stevelau1933]

This is the best bird species in the world. I think they should start replacing parrots in all the pet stores and be breed in mass quantities because they are so awesome.

[@stanlyqbrick1621]

i visited friends outside Melbourne towards the snowy mountains and we were sitting on the back deck have a tea and from the forest behind us at night fall is a lyrebird doing a baby crying. The lyre bird was imitating their new born baby. It was a weird thing to hear coming from the forest.

[@Ben-Doverbich]

am i the only one who thinks its fucking sad that the lyrebird imitates the sounds of his home being sawn down ?!

[@PinkLadyDeluxe]

No, I thought the same. :-(

[@fyodordochievsky4376]

Ay lyrebird can I get a “oh yeah”? *chainsaw noises*

[@blacklotus5364]

This is such an underrated comment

[@australiasindustrialage689]

They're a beautiful bird, I see them quite regularly

[@CSIS25]

having that as a pet ohhhhh my.. here you are a sleep 3:30 in the morning you wake up to the sound of a chain saw.. soon you wake up first thought would come to mind is someone is going to cut you up ROFL NOO THANK YOU ROFL

[@meastrosity]

robert lee's voice makes me soo sleepy its so peaceful idk why

[@OffGridInvestor]

probably the cages next to it being built. they do have maintenance at zoos. this thing is on our ten cent coin over here.

[@JimsNBHomestead]

she is gorgeous

[@rexluminus9867]

Jim Ott. It's a he.

[@guyver-9717]

LMAO

[@thunder7382]

pretty much imitates all that endangeres her habitat.

[@sthompson2839]

Yes 😢

[@RyansColoradoRailProductions]

The lyrebird goes skrrrrrat

[@CharleyManderson]

.. she has massive eyebrows. i love this bird

[@rEsonansDx]

best security when no one's in the house. :D

[@OriruBastard]

Would love to hear one of these birds imitate musical instruments like guitar. :p

[@MerlinErdogmus]

I still can't believe that they're real...

[@SgtAwesome6]

the michael winslow of birds

[@OriruBastard]

Yes, because "Shut up, it does" is always such a valid answer to every question. :)

[@xaldynnemo47]

Oh hey, MythBusters narrator guy!

[@kupriitis]

I would sooo teach him the Nokia Tune. And then send him in a crowd of people

[@vasilee7458]

😂😂😂👍Funny shit...

[@johncheetham4607]

😂🤣

[@gregstewart8771]

You should make that bird listen to skrillex.

[@australiasindustrialage689]

The sounds they they make depend on the area that they live. E.g in the Blue Mountains of NSW,where I am from they mainly mimic local birds, however on the North Coast forests north of Newcastle they're more likely to mimic chainsaw sounds because that's where there is a large timber industry

[@bloodyhell302]

Teach it the "Surfin' bird" song with Peter Griffin's voice! :D

[@johncheetham4607]

🤣😂

[@nidarajput8842]

Wonderful sharing 👍👌

[@mikeboothe]

Amazing!

[@TroaBarton]

i want to teach this bird one phrase "over here... over here ccccrrrraaaaaakkkk over here" then take schedule a field trip through at night. XD

[@matthewmaguire3554]

Would love to play some Jimi Hendrix and see what it comes up with.

[@andrewr311]

It takes a few generations I think

[@michaelarchangel1163]

Ms. Dalziell herself was worthy of several kinds of mating call, sadly the sound of an actual Rolls Royce engine operated by some oick likely having consigned the lyrebird to a life of frustrated solitude.

[@nicoletorcolini5316]

And I thought that African Gray parrots were bad.

[@michelleparsons9881]

That's amazing

[@gamalelsrogy3255]

سبحان الله له في خلقه شؤن

[@7vgitz]

i want to hear a lyrebird do the beginning of Baba O'Riley. :)

[@SilenceKyo]

how to troll people in the forests Play Friday repeatedly and loudly in the forests where the lyrebirds live.......

[@solis6955]

I want it i want it !!!!

[@TCPUDPATM]

Its so sad to hear that thing imitate a chainsaw...

[@mauriciom8430]

There is a guy who imitates television preachers. This bird reminds me of him

[@leegiwuk]

what a mother of nature!

[@Tyranitar06]

It's calling Devil Jho... Get your poop ready.

[@thetwolosers10]

i love this bird:)

[@Downbeatoff]

omg it's Michael Winslow from Police Academy!

[@dxxa95]

I hope it hears the roar of godzilla

[@Ben-rj7xs]

We could use these guys in the movies

[@coleruzicka]

Mythbusters announcer.

[@1Way2GodJesus]

Why hasn't anyone bought and tested this?

[@saxrendell]

So much of this footage is nicked from the BBC, David Attenborough did a bit about lyrebirds and its all the same footage as this

[@ricky5408]

I agree, i have the video set made by David Attenborough, this is plagiarism.

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

What a wonderful, impressing bird! Both its so called dancing moves and spellbinding wing movements seems extremly like peacocks! Are they in any way relatives?

[@MrDoobie1978]

Our lyre birds rock. Aren't they awesome at mimicking sounds?

[@7jerryv7]

I would mate with her arm too

[@DL-xv9dm]

Why are scientist trying to study jellyfish in hopes of giving humans near immortality. They need to study these because I want to see somebody with these vocal cords!

[@thegoodnessness]

yes it can, it can imitate what ever it hears

[@dennisbrady6679]

pretty sure thats the same guy who does the voiceovers for mythbusters

[@sictiran]

Search - humans arent alone lyrebird -

[@LCdrDerrick]

Anastasia, play Tie Fighter sound or the War of the Worlds tripod sound to him or Darth Vaders breathing noise or the THX intro. Train that bugger.

[@evilyig]

Not many cooler sounds than a TIE Fighter. Maybe those Dune weirding module sound weapons from Dune too.

[@LCdrDerrick]

evilyig Agreed, something funny would also be thinkable, like the Road Runner or the Hypnotoad from Futurama.

[@LidiaCumbrera]

AMAZING!!!!!!

[@reptile003]

i saw these birds. they are very amazing in real file

[@andreporto3206]

Super Mario Song would be nice!

[@PerrrfictKats]

Looks like a poor cousin of the peacock..

[@riverssteeves554]

i was waiting for tori to come out n beatbox battle with it or something

[@birdgeekguy]

the narator is robert lee. the narator from mythbusters!

[@puella_meiberu]

Now let it listen to dubstep!

[@GoodFebruarian]

Natural Black-box

[@sictiran]

Humans arent alone lyrebird last part you will hear the dubstep + dance

[@Vidiwell100]

I want one!

[@mcjake1231]

If you ever played Ty the Tiger then you'd know that you can never trust the lyrebird

[@MRJAREDTHESTONER]

ide like to let it hear some death metal

[@AGSGuy]

I wonder if it can immatate a entire train

[@cliff.n5248]

They should learn sounds of bombs exploding, gun fire erupting. For, next time there home is being torn down; may make loggers think twice(?)..

[@cliff.n5248]

Sad.. very sad!!

[@ashluvsfoofighters]

yay Adelaide zoo! Ill be there next week :)

[@Cruelaid]

🕰️ How was it ?

[@JP_94]

It’s sad they imitate the destruction

[@ultimaT]

It's the Qurupeco! of real life!

[@Realinventions]

just imagine the star wars sound track :-)

[@andreashoppe1969]

Or Beethoven's 5th Symphony :D

[@IamMortui]

You beat me to that!

[@sixteeeeeenine]

haha good idea

[@mer2wali]

This fucking bird!

[@officialSuBraX]

let the bird listen to dubstep, let's see if the bird can imitate that

[@peachiecheeks]

Mockingjays exist!

[@heybroimnotgay]

Dubstep

[@JustYouCalmDownSon]

EYEBROWS

[@user-kb3nb5jd5k]

😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@lunhil12]

Amazing creature, I wonder why some birds mimic sounds. If anyone has a link to some good information let me know.

[@sexittwice]

lol soo funny

[@rizkyprastyo2162]

amazing bird if in indonesia have I want to buy this bird

[@janisir4529]

I wonder if they could learn entire songs.

[@ppeck37123]

This American pretty much stole everything David Attenborough had to say about it, word for word. Really funny though that it imitates chainsaws and camera shutters hahaha

[@alexanderswezda6712]

they have to learn him some musik singing yust give him a radio!

[@Morussian]

Да это покруче попугая будет ))

[@yoursoulfulconnections]

It's sad to see that they are now capturing these birds instead of studying them in their habitat,left free to mate! It's a shame and sad to see this.

[@maaam20]

بالعافية بسوي اني فهمت شي...

[@Kukse123]

Make it say Zombie sounds xD

[@NEETfreak1]

what if its a lyrebird

[@verticalsmurf]

Pretty sure David Attenborough documented all this 25 years ago

[@evilyig]

I don't exactly fault the bird for it's attraction to that arm. Were I a man without ethics and morality,...

[@mortaroman]

She DOES look like an Australian Jennifer Conelly though...

[@evilyig]

mortaroman She is quite attractive, I've got a thing for eyebrows. I can totally see that. And she studies animals, even more attractive. Science!

[@Shallthechao1]

these fucking birds

[@davyvandeputte380]

😂🤣😂👌

[@ferretyluv]

Man I remember when Animal Planet did stuff like this. Damn, if they imitate loggers, i feel so sorry for Australians. That must be annoying as hell.
