Lyrebird that Mimics Every Thing


This bird can imitate the call of at least 20 different bird species but that’s nothing compared to the fact that it can mime the sound made by photo camera shutters, car alarms or even saws and chainsaws.

The Superb Lyrebird (Menura Novaehollandiae) is a pheasant-sized songbird, up to 100 cm long, with brown upper body plumage, grayish brown below, rounded wings and strong legs. It is the longest and third heaviest of all songbirds.
