  • Demonstration of interesting vocal capacities of a lyre bird as seen at Healesville Sanctuary. This one was a bit of a show off considering they are very shy. When it started to do the kookaburra sounds, it was really hard to stay still and not laugh from amazement. Incredible creature.

    3. give silence while audience absorbs performance
    4. one last camera shutter for good measure

      Although they use their tongues like us to convey language, a hand full of birds have very complex throats, specifically their syrinxes. It produces sounds without vocal chords. Just like a parrot, it can use air flow through the syrinx to create it's whistles and chirps, sometimes mimicking human voices too! I can only imagine how complex this bird's anatomy is!
      Extra Fact: Birds have an elaborate eyes as well, and can see colors that the human eye can't see, or that the brain can imagine!
      Extra Extra Fact: A majority of dinosaurs are scientifically proven to be more related to birds than reptiles based on their bone structure! So that means, almost all dinosaurs had feathers! They probably made all kinds of sounds, and where giant colorful creatures that roamed the globe!
