Panopto -- are you drunk???? (This Panopto's attempt to transcribe David Attenborough discussing lyrebirds. I have...so many questions.)

Brindabella National Park (est. 1996) in eastern Australia protects the biodiversity of the mountain ranges. Vegetation changes with altitude via cold air drainage & soil saturation. The alpine habitats sustain a rich wildlife: wombats, wallabies, dingoes, platypus, wedge-tailed eagles & lyrebirds.

The next door 'neighbours', that don't live here razed their garden to put up a fence. The back (we don't know who) is razing theirs, cutting down beautiful big trees, including a ghost gum. We had lyrebirds here all the time, lots of cockatoos as well. Blue Mountains City Council sucks. I want out.

Lyrebirds have been documented to impresonate camera sounds, car alarms, and chainsaw sounds (blame deforestation for that one).

I love lyrebirds. Part of me is enjoying the song, part of me is like "quiz time!" Whip bird, wattlebird, kookaburra, pass, cockatoo, pass, magpie...

Do These Birds Owe Royalty Payments for Their Songs?
It’s possible Australian lyrebirds stole these songs from humans.

Here’s a closer look at the amazing prehistoric rufous scrub bird - ancient relatives to most song birds and related to lyrebirds, we are hoping that our breakthrough with capture techniques == new opportunities for conservation (1/2)

AI can't even get the answer to a simple question right.
"What is the collective noun for lyrebirds"
Neither of the citations even mention lyrebirds - and a murmuration is always starlings. According to the crossword I was doing, the answer is "musket".

we had lyrebirds at one of our zoos learn to imitate the 'Emergency! Emergency! Evacuate now!' sound they heard after the lions had escaped -- now imagine a cassowary with that ability
Imagine a scene where a character goes missing and we hear him shouting for help as other characters try to find him, only to stop responding after screaming, then he starts pleading for help again and they start responding again only to realize this massive birdlike creature was baiting a trap.

Mayhap you can be tempted with Lyrebirds, who can perfectly mimic the sound of mosaic tiles being crunched beneath the boots of a vengeful author? ;-)

Wet eucalyptus forest in Dandenong Ranges National Park east of Melbourne. Great birding spot. During my trip, it was the only place I was able to find and observe Superb Lyrebirds and King Parrots. #BirdingAustralia #BirdingMelbourne #BirdingVictoria

I'm convinced that lyrebirds are just mp3 players with feathers glued to them.
Parrots get way too much credit, probably because they're colorful. After hearing ravens and lyrebirds, I now know that parrots are like the Gilderoy Lockhart of mimic birds.

The "Pork Chop Crew", one of many trios of young male lyrebirds in Royal National Park who spend their days joyously dashing around the rainforest floor, into trees or onto rock ledges before floating back to the ground all the while practicing their song, dance & mimicry, on endless repeat. #birds

Take a few seconds to enjoy the beautiful rainforest sounds of the Hacking River Valley and a Superb Lyrebird as he forages. He's ably assisted by a Yellow-throated Scrubwren who are comensal to lyrebirds and are also excellent mimics.

🎵 Lyrebirds are nature's ultimate mimics, perfectly copying chainsaws, car alarms, camera shutters, and other birds' songs. Males can reproduce over 20 different species' calls in one performance. Their tail feathers create a "lyre" shape during elaborate courtship displays! 🎭
