Yeah Lyrebirds are amazing! They could definitely cause trouble for AI. But they do throw in lyrebird typical calls every so often and so giving AI longer audio clips and so more context of calls may help. Otherwise we may have to tell the AI that a reversing truck is actually also a lyrebird haha

That’s actually a very interesting question and problem. Out of the box it depends on the training data to detect the slightest nuances. Another way may also be increasing the context length of audio clips as mimics often go through a whole bunch of calls which could be a way to distinguish.

Absolutely agree. Sometimes, it’s challenging to find a good balance between high-quality data and minimising any negative impact on the animals. Important to prioritise the animals as much as possible!

Hi Eryn!

Also love to be added, thank you!

Could you add me please? 🙂

Here's a snap (and the recorded song) of a Superb Fairywren from the most recent #fieldwork trip in southern NSW. There were four males and over a dozen females around a pretty small body of water. Was super fun to watch them all and listen to their chatter for a bit 🔈🪶

Sorry I won’t be much help with Armenian birds but I was curious what software you used to visualise the audio here?

Also good to add @sladeaa.bsky.social and @daniteixeira.bsky.social

Hey fellow ecosound nerds! Could I please be added? I work on acoustic ecology in Australia. Trying to effectively apply acoustic monitoring for long-term, large-scale biodiversity assessments.
