Amazing Lyre bird
One of two species of Lyrebird found in Australia the other being the Albert's lyrebird.
This Amazing Bird is not only beautiful but has a naturally strange characteristic. This Bird mimics the calls of other birds, also copy cats any other sound which comes to this bird. i.e. chainsaws, camera shutters, car noises, dogs and other noises are no problem for this excellent imitator. This Clever Bird is one of the most impressive and funny in nature, with unbelivable sounds to match the beautiful pictures.Lyrebirds, especially males, are generally shy and are more often heard than seen. The male builds a display mound - a low hillock about a metre across - which he rakes up in soft soil. He normally makes a series of these mounds and visits them in turn, stopping at each to sing and display.
