    Ok, so, the pure vocal ability of this bird is astounding. To be able to emulate the sound of a chainsaw and a tree collapsing at the same time.. just insane. But also. These birds have to be insanely good at listening. To process and internalize those sounds at a level where you can easily reproduce them. Amazing listening skills and auditory/pitch memory. That's just astounding.

      @@aleksitjvladica. I presume it is to many of today's genration who have never used a film still camera. If you are one of them, I'll explain: such cameras used a strip of (usually 35mm wide) film on which to expose the images. When you have exposed one, it has to be moved sideways so that the next section of the strip is in position to be exposed; this is normally achieved by pushing a lever which turns the take-up spool and turns a cog with sprockets to advance thie film by a fixed amount (such as 36mm). It is usually combined with also cocking the shutter mechanism (that which exposes the film when you take a picture; if you think about it the film has to be kept in the dark until then). On some sophisticated cameras, the process was motorised, so you only pressed the shutter release button, which fired the shutter mechanism (making the clicking sound) and then wound on the film [and cocked the shutter ready for the next picture as well] (making the whirring sound). It wasn't just laziness - a camera with motor-drive could take several stills in succession faster than one on which you had to press, wind, press, wind, and also it was less likely to change the aim of the camera if you only had to touch one control (some did so automatically, or could be configured to do so, if you just held your finger on the shutter release button). Then as now, it's sometimes worth taking several pictures in quick succession in order to get the one you want - e. g. an animal or sports-car moving fast, a celebrity who might only glance your way briefly, and so on. Generaly only by professionals and serious photographers: for the rest of us, not only were motor-drive cameras more expensive, but the cost of the film wasn't insignificant, and you couldn't immediately review and discard the failures - film can't be deleted and re-used!

      it’s just like a straight recording in their brain played back through their vocal organ called a syrinx, located at the base of the trachea. Because it is located where the trachea forks into the bronchii that lead to the lungs, birds can produce more than one sound at the same time - one sound in each of the two bronchii. They’re much like a very complex multi stage digital synthesiser with a perfect reference to create their sound with. The way they use the natural ambience within all that is just astonishing.

    This lyrebird is close to a highway that runs through an area called the Black Spur. (I recognise his mound). That is why he hears the vehicle and human sounds. Chainsaws are used to clear trees that have fallen across the road. There are no trees cut down here as they are protected.
    I have heard other lyre birds sound like motorbikes, cantering horses, talking people. You can sit and listen to their repertoire for hours. They are amazing.
    The biggest threat to them are feral cats. Not chainsaws.

However, no man-made sounds have ever been recorded by a lyre bird in the wild (although the so-called flute lyre birds of New England are often cited).

    For those unaware: this is a lyre bird called Chuck who lives (lived?) in Adelaide Zoo. He is/was considered the best of his species in regards to his song. Being from the zoo meant he could hear things like camera shutters, motor drives, car alarms and, of course, chainsaws frequently enough that he could learn to mimic him. This particular bird wasn't replicating deforestation, rather, he was imitating rennovation.

    I could easily replace my home security system with one of these bad boys. It’d freak the hell out of any burglar.

      I mean if I was breaking into a house and then suddenly started hearing a chainsaw revving up, I'd get the hell out of there. So, gotta agree with you on that.

    I've been in the avian field for nearly 30yrs now. Having "hands on" experience with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. And these birds NEVER cease too amaze me with their vocal mimicry.

      Tomtalker2000,what about the bird that never lands,and is airborne permanently,how does it eat,drink and sleep?

    • @conanmcdonnell7390

      Swifts, for example, eat and drink on the wing - several birds do this - and have 'micro-sleeps'. Amazing birds.

      I bet.... The only thing that bird cannot imitate is the shrill unbearable scream of married women shouting at their spouse for silly things, because he is male. 😂😂😂

      "Lost It", means she laughed, cried, got angry, or freaked out when something happened that was surprising.
      Another way of saying it would have been to say "I laughed my ass off when I heard the narrator say 'That was a camera shutter'.."
      In truth, I, too "Lost it" when the narrator said "That was a camera shutter", in that I laughed at the comment.
