I have seen and heard a lyrebird on a freinds property , it can mimic my freinds kids laughing, really cool and a little bit scary if you did'nt know what it was, the cool thing is the kids have grown up and yet you can hear them play and laugh often

[XxTheRaverSurviverxX]

what ive been really wondering, is that since this bird can imitate such a vast variety of sounds, Does "he" even have his own original voice-call? o.O

[coconutsprinkles]

he should sing Friday by rebecca black(: haha no i hate that song.

[jonasfeld]

Where are the copyrights now?

[magnusalexa]

let him go free, or have you not yet earned enough money from him!

[bookgrub]

@magnusalexa Zoos do valuable work in allowing the general public to access and learn to appreciate animals. Without their work, protection of wild animals would be much harder. They also allow for preservation and breeding of endangered species, and scientific study that doesn't rely on disturbing animals in their natural habitat. If the zoo can turn a profit while they do it, more power to them.

[bcwr96]

@bookgrub Exactly. Thank you. At least someone knows how a zoo works.

[Pennyadodumuss]

Birds like that should be taught to mimic flutes and whistles

[binturong1000]

That was not that bird making that sound. It was a kookaburra.

[solnegrolunaroja]

@binturong1000 This birds are known to imitate at least 20 different other birds, and there is a video from Richard Attenborough showing one that imitates a chainsaw and a car alarm. They can copy virtually any sound in their sorroundings.

[pyrbaby]

@binturong1000 Obviously you know nothing about the lyre bird and its astounding talent for imitation. Look them up, watch some videos, read a bit, and learn something about these absolutely AMAZING birds.

[wilhelmthefly]

Teach him how to moo.

[akksana]

teach him some more sounds :)

[Texan102]

Just play "I'm tired of these mother f**king snakes on this mother f**king plane"!!!!!!

[b2o4e]

reminds me of the flintstones.

[Cropp16]

I think he said "Chop Chop " xD

[83CyborgX1]

Always scream "Help I am trapped in here, let me out" when you are near the bird *hehe* :P



[DawnOfTheCrazy]

@SwiftRunnerPictures Yeah, he said chook, chook (his name) at 0:08

[phazoneatermetroid77]

Play "Never gonna give you up" so he can rick roll people XD

[bruhe]

Play this bird nothing but christopher walken dialog. That would be high-larious.

[JSnyder49428]

@bruhe Just play him the speech from Pulp Fiction over and over, lol. Little kids walking by and the bird says: "7 years he wore this watch up his ass" That would be the best day of my life...

[bruhe]

@JSnyder49428 ROFL "He’d be DAMNED if any slope’s gonna’ put his greasy yellow hands on his boy’s birthright. So... he HID it, in one place he knew he could hide something: his ASS. Five long years he wore this watch, UP his ass.”

[Krumari]

Never, EVER, let this bird watch Jurassic Park. Could you imagine? Scary shit...

[sinnis53]

@tannerman269 oh!i see it now!

[mrssuki1006]

[me020653]

[IAmSuchANerdLol]

@skittlepower95 Excuse me, but this is a ZOO. Not a high school full of angsty teenagers.

[skittlepower95]

@IAmSuchANerdLol most teens today listen to shitty music...

[IncrediMedia]

@skittlepower95 Exactly my words! or.. not exactly, but I'm a Metallica fan, I think that there are waay too many birds that can whistle all kind off mainstream songs... We need some metal birds ! :P

[kingofkongisland]

@IncrediMedia check out death metal band HATEBEAK, whom have a parrot as lead singer

[Rathause]

I'm sure he said "chirp chirp" 8 seconds

[shick1337]
