The Lyrebird has been described as nature's ultimate impressionist. It will mimic a multitude of sounds from other birds, to camera shutters, chainsaws and even car alarms, among others.
Lyrebirds are either of two species of ground-dwelling Australian birds in the genus Menura, and the family Menuridae.
Wikipedia says they are notable for mimicking a variety of of natural and artificial sounds from their environment, and for the striking beauty of the male's huge tail, especially when fanned out in courtship display.
Lyrebirds have unique plumes of subtly coloured tailfeathers and are among Australia's best-known native birds.
