- The sounds of a Superb Lyrebird imitating the calls and song of at least 24 other species of bird. Superb Lyrebirds are famous for their ability to mimic the sounds of birds and other noises they hears in their environment. The accuracy of their mimicry is outstanding, and sometimes it can be hard to distinguish the imitation from the original!
The Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) is a large Australian songbird and has one of the most spectacular songs of all birds. This individual male Superb Lyrebird was recorded in Wollemi National Park, NSW, Australia and in this five minute sample can be heard mimicking at least 24 species. Notes on a few of the highlights (if you can hear a bird species being imitated, feel free to put it in the comments and note the time in the video when you hear it!):
0:00 - 0:09 : Starts with half an Eastern Whipbird call then Australian Magpie, flight noise, calls and song
0:11 - 0:14 : This 'laser' calls are not mimicry and are part of the lyrebirds own natural song.
0:16 - 0:18 : Wonga Pigeon flight noise followed by Sulphur-crested Cockatoo call
0:24 - 0:28 : Laughing Kookaburra
0:29 - 0:33 : Variation of the 'laser' calls. Not mimicry and are part of the lyrebirds own natural song.
1:02 - 1:06 - Australian Boobook (a type of owl)
1:20 - 1:23 - Eastern Whipbird (male / female duet)
2:55 - 2:58 - White-throated Nightjar
3:58 - 4:00 - Common Brushtail Possum.

World would be a different place if everyone got up at dawn went outside and just listened to nature
bro he’s playing a video game.
One of the most amazing birds in the world.
Listening all Morning to the Parade of Australian Bird Songs, one more amazing than the next, I think this Bird was the inspiration for many Cartoon sounds! Extraordinary. These Bird Songs also give me more insight to the Tribal Sounds of the Indigenous People of Australia. Until now, I never quite understood some of the Sounds their Musical Instruments made.
Awesome recording! I was really startled the first time I heard one - the most confusing was that "laser" sound. I managed to get a video of the lyrebird and it's quite interesting to see them making all those sounds. A lot of different movements. They are wonderful birds.
Wow! Thanks for sharing all your recordings. I think the Lyrebird is the most amazing bird
Nice recording Marc . You captured it beautifully. I had always wondered if they learnt from each other as well as from the environment which is explained in your great website. keep safe ,
Glad you enjoyed the recording John. Yes, I recall reading about a study done on lyrebirds in Tasmania where they were introduced decades ago - apparently they still include mimicry of birds not found in Tasmania (ie. species only found on the mainland) which they can only have learned from other Tassie lyrebirds. Be interesting how long these sounds will persist in that population.
I love lyrebirds

Beautiful
Omg thank you. You've answered the question I've been wondering about for years and could never find the answer to: what sounds do Lyrebirds make when they're not mimicking other sounds? Thank you!
so a laughing kookaburra is a natural call? 😂 check ebird now. I said NOW
What a repertoire! Must be a nightmare to identify simply from the call.
Could you mention which species it is mimicking?
There's a few mentioned in the description to the video. When I get time, I'll add a few more there too. 😊
@@WildAmbience Thanks!
What bird has the most elaborate, the most complex, and the most beautiful song in the world?- David Attenborough

Pied Currawong 1:30 - 1:50

Yes
Otis be interesting for you to do a song breakdown
Good idea. I'll keep it in mind for a future video.
