Australian Lyrebirds

[bertverwoerd]

It sounds like gun shots and reloading to me. Poor birds.

Nice footage, great sounds. Also amazing how the people were able to get so close to both birds without them getting scared and running off - Lyrebirds in the wild are timid of humans, that'w why they are rarely seen.

This is one of the few videos that's not a rip from the Attenborough one that shows the true ability of the lyrebird.

Now, if we can only get them to copy the rickroll....
