The Australian Lyrebird has the unique ability to perfectly imitate the songs of other birds as well as human sounds, including mobile phones or camera shutters.

Personally, I think I hear some video game sounds as well.

How many different bird songs can you identify?


 

I recorded this footage just before sunrise near Jenolan Caves, some two hours inland from Sydney.

While Australian lyrebirds are common in the Blue Mountains, they are shy birds and witnessing them sing is a special and fortunate experience.
