Sound on for this. Lyrebirds are masters of mimicry and can imitate almost anything, even chainsaws and building sites. How they and other bird species do this has been a mystery - until now. | New Scientist

Lyrebird performing on his mound 🪶 I filmed this a couple of years ago from a long distance. I managed to find a gap in the foliage to film through and he had no clue that I was watching. The entire performance lasted about 10 minutes. This is just a snippet. #lyrebird #superblyrebird #birdsofaustralia #australiananimals | Jeremy Films Things
