I love this bird and its abilities, but at the same time that it makes me happy in wonder at the beauty, diversity & utter brilliance of nature itself, I nearly always want to cry at irony of the Lyre's imitation of the chain saws & devastation & destruction caused by human beings cutting it's habitat around it. I think David, the crew that work with him & the BBC do tremendous work in bringing such constantly amazing footage to the world. Shame not everyone respects the world we're destroying.

All life needs to remain free and be respected in its own natural habitats without interference from our selfish human desires...nature is its own theater and needs to be left alone for all to enjoy and marvel at, allowing people to see the Lyre give one of nature's best singing performances

WOW...talk about mind-boggling...Nature never ceases to amaze me...this biological ability of the bird to mimic EXACT sounds of all living creatures, including humans, seems to prove that nature has a way of making all lide unique and exotic in its own way. I'm tempted to want to keep a Lyre bird as a pet, so that I could teach it my favorite songs and have it sing me to sleep every night; too bad it would go against my morals to contain such a rare specimen for myself.
