- Lyrebirds are nature's masters of mimicry and are capable of imitating almost anything, even chainsaws and building sites. How they and other bird species do this has been a mystery - until now. Learn more about their talents at www.newscientist.com/article/...

Maybe it's not mimicking... but there's actually tiny construction workers renovating the bird's insides and we only hear them when the bird opens it's mouth.
Lmfao

Jack Duno Awww 🥰 we think alike! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes
Jack Duno how high ru?? XD jk that’s creative tho
Put a few of these birds on your job site, then take the rest of the day off... Boss would never know the difference
+Dee Jay Until it started loudly shouting 'FUCK ME' because it imitates all sorts of shit. That would be suspicious.
+Krak thoom or shooting lasers at ppl
Three word$: Call center agent!
Give them one day of training and they're ready.
Incorrect. Your absence from the site plus the lack of progress in the work would be the cue that any boss could readily interpret.
Person1 LOL
Lyre bird : Hammering sounds ✔ - sawing sounds ✔ - chainsawing sounds ✔ - what else ? Oh that :
0:50 - "*Whistle*"
1:06 - "what'r you doin' ?"
1:47 - "that's pathetic !"
2:05 - "Good job swan !"
Good job Shaun
Mind blowing
I love that little laugh at 1:30.
Mind blown...
Great pick
The hammering sound, with the echo-ish sound that came with it. Like it's hammering in a warehouse or something. That's amazing. These things are living tape recorders.
Living tape recorders, nice definition.
Family: Let's go live away from the city so we can have peace
Nature: *No*
Let's go copy comments
The bird hear construction and copies it's sounds, so the bird would have to live in a city or near one to pick up the sounds
777 like NANI NATURE??
Nobody:
People in this comment section:
M A D
if everybody would leave the city to live in nature not much nature would survive such onslaught . accept that humans are the most stupid living organisme on this planet only humans destroy willfully for moneytary gain time and time again
Humans: The human vocal chord has the widest range.
Lyrebird: **Hold my worm**
😆
Ipsita M “Hold my worm” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏽
Yes 😂😂😂
Worm: I'm freee
Nah finish that shit, I ain't holding no worm goddamnit
Literally laughed out loud when he also mimicked the construction worker whistling 😂
I know, lmfao.
I loved that, too. What an amazing bird. Can you imagine a host of these wonderful creatures competing with each other...
Beats The X Factor any day. I could listen to and watch them for ages
Yeh he did it after finishing work he is a son of ? Angel🤣
0:57 Just to remind everybody it's still a real bird: "Chirp chirp."
😂
That might not even be its real sound. It might be mimicking other bird's voice...
He was actually mimicking the workers whistling
I read this comment before seeing that part and literally thought it was gonna be the bird making actual bird noises
This made me laught out loud! So funny!!
Wonder what would happen if that bird lives with a beatboxer for a few weeks.
It would go viral!!! 😂😂😂
Its would disturb space time
Archer74 it would mimic the beatbox hence the name of the bird-lyre bird cause it lies
@@sniper10666 that is not why they are called lyre birds
it will be known as rhymbird
There's a mockingbird in my area that imitates car alarms.
Hahaha
Lol thats amazing and probably drives the neighbors mad, not knowing if their car is going off
Thief: time to break into this car.
* Car alarm sounds *
Thief: darn it!
Resident: Shut it, mockingbird!! No one likes you!
Thief: phew
I’ve had a few birds doing the same. Nobody else believed me until I had to forcefully point it out.
@@brandonchan5387 HAHAHAHAHAHA!
"Those humans build REALLY BIG nests for themselves! Maybe I should imitate their mating calls..."
i can see that logic haha
He even imitates the men talking and laughing a few times! That is amazing!
The accuracy of the sounds is kinda astounding.
Not really when you see what their vocal chords look like
imagine where did he get those sounds... and take a look at his place now...
And fucking annoying
Imagine what sound it will imitate if it lives near a cheap motel, with hookers around it.....
U mean ASOUNDING
He's got that rechargeable drill motor sound down perfect! Even copied the whistle of a worker!
And catcalling🤣
FillerBunny NinjaShark do you know what catcalling is
@@p01ygon do you?
w/rooosh
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 lmao
That grinder sound is the one that really shocked me. If you’ve ever used a grinder, it kind of makes a ringing kind of sound as it’s slowing down. It’s just those little nuances that shocked me.😮
I love how it makes the pitch of the hammered nails rise as they are struck home.
Thought I was the only one who noticed. That was pretty amazing. Lol
God : How many different sounds do you want?
Lyrebird : YES
Kevin B the bird is like heh babe! Wanna see something cool? Vroomzzz vroomzzz....
This meme needs to die. It's horribly unfunny.
Lls
*many
@@mathze I second that
0:50 the bird literally mimicked a guy casually whistling.
and also he flirted with the girl
I think he also said what you doing. Listen a bit later.
@cheap cigs lmfaooo!!
lmfao
and a Dog before that :D
I love how one can see that he pushes more air when the chainsaw "accelerates", so he's not only mimicking the sound itself but he needs to mimic how the sound is produced too, to some extent. Fascinating!
Title: Lyrebird mimics construction sounds
Me: 🤨
Lyrebird: 🚜🚧🦺🧰🔧🔨🛠️⛏️🔩⚙️🧱
Me: 😳
Haha 😂
acceptable excessive use of emojis
There's times when it actually mimics construction workers talking.... truly amazing lil creature!
It's truly amazing. .
Truly.
And wolf whistling passing girls.
I thought thats what this video was......
I'm I the only one that feels like he trying to communicate with the camera, (the only dominant noise he heard from us was construction sounds) so he believed that's our language........
BUT ITS JUST A THEORY
A BIRD THEORY
Imagine if all birds start mimicking him?
The whole zoo will transform into a goddamn construction site!
😂
No need to swear.
Kathleen Norton who the fuck are you to tell someone on the internet not to swear?
@@kathleennorton6108 fuck you
@may day why the hell not it's not like he exists
Not only is their memory surprising. Even more impressive is their ability to produce all kinds of sound. I'd love to have a throat like theirs
Luvved the whistling worker, and the battery powered impact driver. He's a boss.
Undisputed winner of most talented bird on the planet. Gorgeous thing.
I especially like the quick " What're you doing? " mimic.
Cliff Owens when was that?
Slow Bro just watch the video
Found it at 1:04 from others comments
That's what I heard, but I thought it was just someone saying it in the background until I read your comment
I think its more, "how are you doing?" good night fuckers xd
1:23 It's even mimicking the slight reverb from the sound.
😂
Amazing
I noticed that as well. Very cool.
Was about to comment on that too. The level of vocal control needed to achieve this is simply amazing.
This bird is on the line of fucking awesome and nightmarish hallucination
HOW DO THEY DO IT? I can’t even mimic accents from my own country. I can’t sing, yet this bird can make all these sounds. I am beyond impressed. Animals are not given the recognition and respect they deserve. AMAZING!!
Well they have something called a syrinx for a voicebox rather than a larynx, and I guess that puts their abilities on a whole other level. But they would still need a pretty special brain to record all the sounds first. Amazing!
@@robman2095 imagine if a human had a syrinx implanted
Man, humankind has reached this level of technologies lots of years ago. There's a lot of more mind-blowing things created by nature to be amazed of, for example, consciousness in human brain as we know it. No supercomputer can simulate consciousness yet. And you're shocked by sound recording and playing capabilities, pfff...
@@JellyMelodies great idea for a scifi
@@squidwardfromua I totally agree but this is too a wonder of nature
1:07 Notice that it isn't just the hammer sound, but it also contains the ambient reverb that the loud sound produced.
Sweet little sampler :)
That bird actually talked like the builder and whistled .amazed
DERMOT HENRY that got me fucked up
When your are in the deep jungle you can't trust those sounds to find people, those birds actually make you get lost! Really. I'm a capybara, I know what I'm talking about...
@BitterVoid I've never said they did it on purpose... They imitate those sounds cause man invade their territory
@@KevinelCarpincho its actually pretty sad,that those are the noises the bird mimics.
@BitterVoid Some animals are absolute dicks
The birds brain must be crazy if it can recall and memorize auditory stimuli like this.
Those whistle sounds are construction guys getting each other’s attention.
One of the whistles was "whistle while you work" 😂😂
I thought it sounded like a catcall 😂
@@rustinstardust2094 lol thats what i thought too
@@davidvaughn9 Yeah I had to rewind it to prove it since my niece said it wasn't
The most coolest bird 🐦!! Hammer, drills, construction,whistle, etc!!!👍👍❤️
Two years later, this is just as amazing as it was last time I saw it----the snatches of conversation are just exact. This bird is beyond belief! Thanks for uploading it!
2:05 Did he just literally say "good job Schwan?" lol
Eternal Soul
Sean or Shawn. Dipshit
Can I use my "English Is Not My 1st Language" Card? Please spare me from your hate hahaha
I think so! 😂🤷🏻♀️
I hope Schwan watches this, wherever he is now
I think it was: " rude slob Schman"
lol you can really hear that the drill was low on batteries
steffankaizer and did ya hear them havin trouble crankin that truck? :P
Low torque
steffankaizer Nah, just them damn long wood screw's
steffankaizer Maybe the bird was low on batteries :D
Haha, it can even mimic a hot woman walking by and the workers whistling like in that old Thalia music video?
It's kind of sad that this bird knows these construction sounds, it must mean he's been around a lot of noisy construction in his life.😥
Limbar Jenkins this is exactly what I was thinking 😭poor bird 🐦
It’s in a zoo
This bird was hatched in a zoo, but wild lyrebirds are now also imitating chainsaws, etc.
The sounds of the construction workers are from a nearby new panda enclosure. The chainsaw was used to cut and shape the climbing trees and remove the foliage.
I'm pretty sure this is footage of Chook, who lived in Adelaide Zoo for his whole life. He learned the construction noises from the building of new enclosures and the renovation of his own. I heard him a few times and while he pulled out the construction noises a few times, he tended to mimic the noises of the other zoo animals more
Amazing, the bird is a genius. The bird spoke in English about four times and made the sounds of power tools and hand tools. Really incredibly intelligent beings.
Lost in forest for 3 days...
Human : finally!! Civilization!!
Bird : nope
Kevin Arc LoL!! 😂😂😂 Good one.
I don't understand this, pls explain
😂😂😂😂hahaha hahaha
How can it mimic these sounds without civilization being nearby?
Wow, it even throws in some human speech and some guy whistling. Amazing.
I love that it was a bird imitating a human, who was ultimately imitating a bird.
It even does a creepy laugh at 1:29
@@_Vengeance_ That was the call of the Kookaburra. I've seen the Lyrebird on another program and it did this call among many other amazing things.
Whoa. The drill sound is incredibly realistic. 0:33
Just imagine this bird outside your bedroom window at the crack of dawn every morning
Me: I need a powertool but not sure what it's called.
Hardware store guy: What does it sound like?
Me: *pulls out lyrebird*
Casual lyrebird moment
hahaha
I came back to this comment just to say I thought of this in class and I laughed my ass off.
Funny
Him: *Pulls out Lyrebird with Industrious intent*
2:04 "My job sucks"
+MakoRuu lmfao
Lyrebirds are nuts.
MakoRuu há! Gareeee, thiss nuts
+MakoRuu I think it says "Nice Job" "How ya Doin"
+MakoRuu it almost sounds like it's doing stereotypical cartoonish construction worker cat calls at one point. Probably just a guy whistling while he works but it'd be funny if you could hear them swearing, giving each other shit, hitting on girls etc.
I love the normal bird sounds it casually makes in between the insane imitations.
Haha no alot of them are mimics too, they mimic the Kookaburra & many other surrounding birds lol.. Must be really confusing for the other birds when they think a prospective mate is near by haha!
the bird even mimics the sound of falling things and nearly at the end told: Hey, you got it! amazing!!!
One of the most amazing creatures ever! Not only for its ability to reproduce any sound, but also for its perfect memory of so many highly complex sounds.
1ucasvb dude almost all birds can do this it's just that this one was Near a construction site
Jérémie Pigeon not true. only a select few can imitate surrounding sounds.
42 jade not true on your not true on his not true.
Joost Schenk true
1ucasvb yes its suppose not just coincidence for the bird able to make many sounds...its must the Almighty one only makes His great creature 🙂☝
*All the other birds* : Tweet tweet tweet!
*Lyebird* : *screwdriver intensifies*
Screwdrivers don't make much noise unless you have one that ratchets
@@neighborhood_k Or impact drivers
Can use this bird to orchestrate crab rave?
😂😂
Haha...he even mimiced the construction workers whistling away during their breaks.
This bird can be potential witness in court for illegal logging/construction case
that's it i'm calling the city about these damn birds doing construction early in the morning
They didn't apply for a construction permit, either!
Maybe quit sleeping at the zoo then
Hey--Calm down boys-When have you heard any carpenters working that hard lately????
Ha ha! You too funny,watch one show up at your door! Mimicking a cop!!
Can you imagine? You’re like, “ yes! Finally my neighbors construction is done and I can sleep.”
Then this bird starts singing.
I would fucking shoot the thing 😂😂😂
it may recreate the sounds of when you have sex lol
@@bluehornet197 but if you miss it will be hiding out there going bang!! bang!! lol
@@rimaman8681 Like a sketch from Looney Tunes
Hahahahhahah
0:50 even imitating a worker whistling...
The lyrebird is the world's best mimic. It is also the mother of ALL songbirds. Songbirds first started in Australia. Fossil evidence pointed to the lyrebird being the grand matriarch, a team of Swedish researchers used genetic evidence to prove it.
The best recording I have heard are of a 35mm camera shutter, and a 35mm motorised shutter.
Imagine being drugged in the forest and hearing these all around you but seeing nothing.
youd think it was haunter
S K exactly..
So you’re drugged and blindfolded in the middle of the rainforest?
And one of the birds watched the rape scene from deliverance.
Lol! I don't think you really need any drugs,just listen to sounds in the dark!
This damn bird just said "break time" at 1:05
It even sounded like it was coming from a work radio.
It must know that 'smoko' is a pretty relevant word.
It sounded like "what're you doin" to me lol. Crazy
And in an accent too
The foreman said break time, but the bird went back to work anyway! Haha
As a former construction worker, I can make out every tools used to make those sounds.
These birds are phenomenal
1:46 "That's pathetic"
Now I know this is authentic.
@Shawnaldo75 I think the bird says "my joint's short" or something similar. That would make sense for construction.
@@AshiStarshade I heard, "My joint's sweaty"
@@ShervinKhoshboresh I heard "Good job (...)", I have no idea what 3rd word is, maybe a name.
I heard "There, feel better?"
@@compman12345 "good job Sean" in a Geordie accent?
1:06 it said "what you doing" like a supervisor in a construction site and, at 2:05 "hey Joshua".
That bird can be a real stalker
or "Good job swan"
Yo
Yes
1:06 Good going
Not only do they mimic humans whistling, laughing, and talking but they even mimic different accents like that British accent they do at the end
These sounds are so beautiful and so sad at the same time
I was working west of Sydney Aust.many years ago and had a lyrebird mimic my alarm clock, an hour before it was due to go off, this went on for a week.
imagine being in America and one of these birds flies into a school and starts mimicking gunshots.
@@MionMikan 😬😬😬😬😬😬
That things part everything
stealthmonkey91 stupid
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Did anyone else hear him say, "what are you doing?"
This is incredible!
Sure did
Is that bird or the person who shooting this video .
Yeah that was cool
And that creepy male laughter!
Hey princess howdy
Sounds like the tire store at Costco without the hip hop playing.
Old School Hollywood would have made the bird RICH!! Simply amazing.
I can imagine this birds sounds helping some guys not work, because it would sound like there is something productive going on.
StarHorder O S-D C F M
Remember these birds were young & nearby a construction site (maybe at the zoo) but far away for safety. They just imitated what they heard day after day. Still amazing.
StarHorder O S-D C F M or helping them by making their wives think they are fixing something 😂
Luna Cally lol so he can sit on his porch drinking and just come back inside to dinner and say "it'll probably take a while"
lol You need one of these in your pocket for when the wife calls and you're at the bar. "You'll have to speak up, I'm busy building shelters for the homeless."
We train them to do that in in tassie
🤔 Hmmm, I heard a hammer, a compressor, a saws all, a engine of an excavator and a construction worker whistling at a pretty girl
How'd ya miss the screw gun???
And the foreman asking What are you doing?
Michelle Burkholder And someone saying hey joshua
Thomas Foss my favorite one
@@janemillerick9614 My old friend Chris had a minor bird-- He repeats himself All the time these days!!!!!!!! Cheuse I mean!!!!
1:06 "What're you doin'?"

Take bird to bar. Wife calls: "Where the hell are you it's 2am?!"
Me: Puts bird on phone.
A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush!
Birds starts making monkey sounds.
Imagine being a slave to a woman that you'd even think of such a silly idea
1:06 "Whatcha doin?"
2:06 "My job site"
The second is more likely to be "my job sucks" or "nice job, son".
Christ, aha.

This bird is actually very extremely impressive for mimic those sounds. It's truly a mockingbird than the real mockingbird.
Did the bird just literally say at 1:05 "what're you doing?"
yep, even had an aussie accent
CastlevaniaDXC I think it did!!
CastlevaniaDXC notice how the hammering started after the what are you doing? The workers were slacking off.
@@Wildicon19 hahahahah I know huh xD
CastlevaniaDXC yes. And it said chop chop
He’s sending a message, “This is what happened to my habitat! “
This is deep
Damn
I wonder how he mimics the fires
We just need to build within it. Swiss Family Robinson style.
Heartwing Arts I think this is a zoo so maybe another pen was being built
Imagine going to the wilderness to rest and get away from all the city noise, then you here this .
Dang! In addition to construction sounds, he almost sounds like a bird.😁
Head Boss who's across town calls the Teamster Foreman on site:
"Hey, how's the project coming along?"
Foreman Jones: *Puts hand over receiver* "it's the boss! Quick, get the bird on the phone!"
This comment is life
obnoxshus rapper It really is! 🤣🤣
Sorry, I don't get this. Could someone explain please?
Brandon Chan The sounds the bird produces will make the boss on the other end of the phone think the men are working, when in fact they are not! 😂
Pray she doesn't start whistling, or, worse, mimicking the boss!
Being a carpenter I closed my eyes that bird hit the head of the nail every time
That is too funny-- better than most apprentices!!!!!!!
"being a carpenter" LOL
@@djmassey2 what's so funny about being a carpenter
Quiet amazing,how this bird changes pitch and frequency ofsounds.
these birds are like sound recorders lmao, it remembers every sound it hears and keeps on repeating it.
Combined this with a parrot that imitated cussing builders, and you'd think next doors was having their house renovated at 5 in the morning.
Samiby - Have a parrot imitating a bar full of drunks with these birds and you have cops over in no time. OH, THE FUN!! 😲🤣😎
The people who disliked are construction bosses fooled by these birds
Based on UA-cam, in Russia this bird would make the sound of cars crashing and someone yelling "идиот!"
This bird did more work in one hour than most labourers do in 1 year.
The fact that it can perfectly imitate echoes is insane
Me: What kind of bird are you...
Bird: a construction bird...
Me: LYRE!!!
Good one🤣
Underrated
lol : D
Perfect 👌 🤣
LOL
Sheeesh! Imagine having that bird coming up to your window at 2AM.... AAAAHHHARG!!
You might murder your neighbor for doing some construction at 2am..
Imagine if that bird heard someone get murdered.
Lolol! How about being able to make those noises in a public place, then start looking around like looking for the source of the noise.
😂😂
Saved by Grace. 👍
I love this bird. So talented.
It’s amazing so intelligent crazy how they manage so many sounds
This bird needs to be on America's Got Talent.
Bruce Gordon
Australia’s Got Talent you mean.
No.. that show will be downgraded into.. bird's got the talents..
Lyrebird performs like a boss.. doesn't give a crap to AOT or whatever sh*t we humans do
Except.... the bird is in Australia...
NOT EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN YOUR SHITHOLE COUNTRY...
Did that bird really just say "how you doin"?!😂
Next.
Did somebody say chicken necks?
Yup, Leah, the bird certainly did.
Yo head look like a cinder block grrl.
it also whistled "whistle while you work" #0:50
Unlikely, "how you doin" is american, we aussies say "ow's it goin". The Lyre bird is one of my favorites, there's still wild ones in the mountains near where I live although cats have become a major problem since the suburbs of Melbourne started encroaching on the foothills.
@@Tapecutter59 how's it going more correct where I live in US.
People asking the bird what it's doing when imitating things :P
This bird has lived in construction sites. Promotion for this bird.

Does it even have any sounds it can call its own?
no, it is a sad man.
you mean china
it is NOT in china.

Careful with the stereotype talk though, especially regarding Japan which usually just provided a technology alternative, basically being competition and the copy talk coming from 'sore losers' who glorify a competitive market until they don't dominate it anymore. (Typical immature Western-capitalist mindset.) Various Western countries copied whole base technologies and called them their invention. ('Copying' is a part of all technology development and is building on the foundation that has been laid before.)
Few people want to hear that Toyota had a hydrogen-powered car in the '80s and that their trucks were driving with clean exhaust technology long before it was a big topic in the West.
This is also not limited to technology, but also affects social design. The topic of equal rights for women for example kinda shows how backwards our supposedly modern society is, because it developed only recently in our history, while it already existed in Ancient Egypt for example. That's thousands of years ago.
Shall we talk about all the stuff the world 'copied' from ancient imperial China? ;-)
And hey, if it's about the more brazen product releases that can actually be confused with a previous one or which don't really add anything new, we could talk about Apple, haha.
Dᴏᴡʟᴘʜɪɴ lol yup I was dying at that
If I randomly heard this bird in my back yard it would scare the piss out of me
😂😂😂
I realised that nature has a harmonious, intelligent design where all species are interdependent - but this sheds a completely new light on ecology
Great, now the building inspector came to my place because they thought I was doing illegal construction
God: so, what kind of chirp do you want?
Lyrebird: yes.
Booooooo. Mass-production UA-cam comment.
@Irfanimation best comment
Judge: "Were you doing construction on the 28 of April in 2015?"
Defendant: "No, and you have no way to prove it!"
Prosecutor: "We'd like to call _Lyrebird_ to the stand."
*courtroom gasps*
They are also very good at mimicking other birds.
This bird could build a whole city block in a day.
