[TheGeniExhiChannel]

[armeggeon]

LYRE BIRD RICK ROLL

[thelostpiranha]

Is this real or is David Attenborough trolling?

[Shizzmonger]

is this real???

[D0CCON]

@Shizzmonger

Some have taken footage of birds doing this and added their own fake things to them, but lyre birds are indeed capable of making these noises.

[Shizzmonger]

@D0CCON amazing!

[alienkilla22]

@Shizzmonger yes it is, a lyrebird is a very awesome bird and has the ability to copy and mimic any sound it hears... any sound what so ever.

[Llynok]

Thumbs up if you heard about him on Qi.

[LinkvsLegolas]

this looks shoped, i can tell by the pixels..............oh wait.

[zolka90]

Would be fun to have birds like that in Washington. Criminals would freak out all the time.

[Tiskaniska]

[2Trololo]

Idiots, oh my gosh! Why so many idiots trust to thuis fake video?

[DesertRain111]

@2Trololo Its not Fake, your the Idiot saying it is, lyrebirds can do that, I have witnessed it -_-

[mr0fxck0my0life]

Justin Bieber disliked this video because the bird is more talented than him...

[AaronBurr17]

@mr0fxck0my0life Bahahaha!!

[wahhagoogoo]

@mr0fxck0my0life Jesus I cant even watch a video about a bird without some douche commenting about Justin Bieber

[scokah]

@mr0fxck0my0life does he dislike everything then?

[GetouTheWay1]

and this guy just immitated other guys video i dont like ppl like u he just downloaded it go see the original one

[wolfen150]

@GetouTheWay1

think about it, I'd have never seen this video or known it belonged to BBC had this not been uploaded here.

[Jmack1lla]

I was believing this was real until the chainsaw part. Then I realized this is obviously a joke. A lot of you seem to think this is real. el oh el

[jhamonkey]

@Jmack1lla seriously.. go get your facts straight before you write a comment on videos. just because a million people believed the world was going to end doesnt mean everything is fake now. geeeez

[Jmack1lla]

@jhamonkey

i never said the world went to shit, but the internet sure as hell has. I bet you get trolled all the time

[wolfen150]

@Jmack1lla

Actually, it's not a joke. The spaghetti tree was a joke.

[MultiAw3some]

Imagine if it heard dubstep.

[themeanmachine84]

@MultiAw3some - or power metal... ;d

[PcGameplayChannel]

@MultiAw3some he would die :|

[Idah0]

most awesome bird EVER!!! :D

[Mikemaladar]

fake

[TobiasKroeyer]

@Mikemaladar

Yeah, it's obviously fake, BBC and David Attenborough pulls these stunts a lot.

(Yes, that was sarcasm)

[Mikemaladar]

@TobiasKroeyer in that case, fake AND gay

[TobiasKroeyer]

@Mikemaladar

You're real smart, I can tell :)

[Mikemaladar]

@TobiasKroeyer Don't be so pretentious. It's obvious my comment was random and ... fake. And yet you take it so seriously, u mad? Loser

[TehBranMuffin]

It's a living tape recorder!

[Mloenkaugm]

Jesus christ I absolutely lost it when it made that camera drive sound

[Mamzzie]

Wow!

[jimspy1001]

I never heard of this species! Are they just down under?

[mrbluenun]

I am a great fan of these amazing birds. But, if you have a computer with onboard speakers, try using headphones, even a pretty cheap set with allow you to hear so much more than you can through computer speakers, especially if they are laptop ones.

These I have listened to several times and so far it is the most varied of all the Lire Birds on YT that I can find. The Foresters Saws and tools are so good they are uncanny!

Take care,

mrbluenun

[ramirouk]

Oh My God!...I thought this was a fools day prank but It really does imitate!

[lolzerist]

*wakes up at middle of night and hears car alarm* SOMEONE TURN THERE DAMN BIRD OFF!!!

[renekenshin6573]

Now this is one magnificent bird showing his talent to the world without knowing that he mimics the sound of his own demise sigh i fear for the future of the next generation

[FFsCMs]

0:58 reminds at HL2 Combine^^

[CapriUni]

I have to laugh at all those camara sounds: all those nature photogs and BBC documentary makers think they're being soooo secret and quiet that the birds "...don't even know we're here."

[thezilla31]

if i had one ill teach it pokemon sounds xD

[thezilla31]

OH THE IRONY.

[caseihfarmboy1]

I like this its really funny!

[allclassics]

My parents had a parrot that started mimicking my mother yelling at my older brother.Kept saying his name in a scolding way. It was funny in a way. These birds are incredible.

[Ravenshard019]

Yeah it's really funny making light of it. Sheesh. It is an astounding bird, but when I watched this when it first came on tv, it just made my heart sink. If this isn't poignant and blatant enough to make people give a shit about the steady destruction of it's habitat (and for forests globally) than not a lot else will be :(

[daleeasson]

@Ravenshard019 a heartfelt comment, fully agree with it all.

[Ravenshard019]

@daleeasson Thanks, I appreciate that :)

[Ravenshard019]

@daleeasson Thanks, I appreciate that :)

[Ravenshard019]

@daleeasson Thanks, I appreciate that :)

[royjimi]

amazing - super thanks

[assailant85]

this bird must really be so bored :D

[StuntLife0CRO]

Adorable shit =D 

[antichav190]

Thats fake, obviousley

[Lordmode]

@antichav190 no it isn't.

[jouassou]

@antichav190 It's an excerpt of the documentary "Life of Birds" by David Attenborough. If you still think it's fake, watch the upload from BBC Earth here: /watch?v=mSB71jNq-yQ

[glitterbugstar]

[pichulick]

[Tolis157]

[Simdenice]

I'd put that bird in front of Star Wars 24/7 for a month and see what it comes up with.

[verbintherain]

that is so weird and creepy how they can imitate anything ever.

[kargin84]

I wonder if they've ever imitated an elephant trumpeting?

[NikoliaTarasov]

Get one and put it near gunfire the put it near your friends house

[Avp86]

I think I know why I hear loud pitched screams from my tree >.<

[turkmuslim4ever]

imagin this bird rapping like 2pac :P

[rokyfox]

if they had a bigger brain these could be the second creatures to have a language :O

[BoleroBakurine]

@pivotous that's funny. randomly hearing "WTF" in the trees lol

[ThisOneGoes211]

Awesome...

[zhihao1]

lol, show it a clip of adolf hitler making a speech. Then we will get "lyrebird hitler"

[freshtilldeath78]

[giuseppe3010]

An Australian told us a story that he was once making love to a girl out in the bundocks. Moments after finished, he heard a voice nearby repeating everything the girl was saying while making love to him, just like a recording. Both could not believe it what they saw and heard; it was the Lyre Bird saying: OH MY GOD... YEAHH.... OH GOD.... YEAH.. YEAH...

[sodgereeve]

he is intimidating what is killing him off....

[monkeymanojo]

The bird learned to mimic those sounds from the dinosaurs millions of year ago. Millions of year from now they'll be speaking Mandarin and Arabic.

[petrsonpicus]

lol

[Rhed009]

Amazing bird. I hope, that this fantastic birdy race will survive the fucking Homo sapiens.

[trx753124]

@Rhed009 wanna help them : D ?! those tiny little cutie birdy race ? JUMP FROM A BUILDING. From the highest one not far from you do it now ;)

[Rhed009]

@trx753124 Polski Orzeł wylądował, na szczęście. W pobliżu Smoleńska

[MW2mikey5527]

[dookiethesock]

[Buggy793]

Beautiful note right at 0:30

:D

[sethcat99]

O my god.

[cmpunk5038]

thats so weird

[pivotous]

i there's one in a tree that lives by my house, and it pisses me off, cuz it's always imitating my burglar alarm & car alarm. it's also cool, because it will also imitate my neighbor's Ferrari, my dad's Porsche, and me cursing at my idiot friends over the phone. i'll be walking and randomly hear "WHAT THE F***!!!!" from the trees, it's hilarious.

[10yroldcarlover]

lier

[1108chuck]

@pivotous How do you have one by your house if you live in the United States? (according to your Youtube profile) These birds are only found in Australia.

[SLITTHROAT13]

@pivotous You should tape that man

[Shadow14l]

@pivotous First of all, they aren't fucking parrots and second of all, they live solely in Australia whereas you live in the United States.

[jahnick1]

@pivotous I dont believe u! lol

[Kitfugl]

@pivotous ROFLCOPTER!!

[JezzaFordGT40]

Brilliant but sad to think that he imitates the chainsaws which are destroying his home:(

[vodorf]

@JezzaFordGT40 Maybe he can imitate the chainswaws owners boss and the workers that they are fired.

[paine131]

@JezzaFordGT40 think if he picked up anything else from them o-O

[KookaburraLaugh]

Me & my mum were trailriding once and a lyre bird imitated the sound of the horse shoes on the road. :o

[ninjastarz2]

OH dear god! It seriously imitated a chainsaw!!!!! so impressive!!!

[LEADFOOT63]

this bird is so cool I like to imitate the bird as the bird imitates the car alarm ,it is like sharing the moment

[indy1110]

Beautiful! Really. Arrived from the Lyre bird Chook of the Adelaide zoo ^^.

The sad part of this vid though, is the chainsaw imitation... Not my favorite :-( .
