I love how David Attenborough has been like 300 years old for my entire life. He and Morgan Freeman are the backbone of narration, timeless and unbiased voices of reason.
It’s so absurd that the bird even got the cracking of the tree right while making the chainsaw noise. Absolutely amazing how attentive they are to sounds.
I don’t know what dangerous predators are in its area but if it lived in Europe and heard it imitating the sound of wolves and bears at the same time I’d come out of the tent crying for help.
I lived in rural Australia for the first fourteen years of my life, we had a park down the road from us full of lyrebirds. Took all the background noise for granted. Went back there this weekend and was amazed at all the sounds I never used to notice much growing up. I miss it.
My grandmother was an excellent pianist and she lived northern NSW Australia in a rural setting. She told us many times about a lyre bird that was able to mimic her when she played a piece of music by Mozart. My father confirmed this. Apparently the bird was pitch perfect.
One of the most complex avian vocal chords in nature should be able to imitate musical instruments effortlessly. They’re systematically designed to make simplistic sounds in order to mesh efficiently with other instruments in a vast constellation of harmonies.
@@frankschwartz7405 A cavity inside the throat with a couple of tabs that flap as breath passes by. I don’t know what the parts are made of, and it’s possible I’m thinking of the mammal version. X3
Not sure if it's the same amazing creature (the bird, not David), but one near me superbly mimics the sound of starter motors. And, if I'm not mistaken, two people having a drunken argument at 4am and then saying "I love youze". Though I'm not sure about that one yet.
They don't live on my continent we have Mocking birds here, years ago one of them while hanging out in my backyard would sound like a car alarm it was funny
This birds talent is next level, it's shocking how accurate the sounds are, and the variety, how does that little throat make all those sounds. Absolutely jaw dropping.
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.
lyrebird: **suddenly talks** "and here we can see the david attenborough in his natural habitat, roaming the wilderness to narrate wild animals's daily lives"
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!
Two hunters come across a human skull on the forest floor. One hunter says to the other, “Hmm, I wonder how this person died?” *Lyrebird: “Uh-oh... SHOO, bear!... NO!! NOOO!!... HELP!! HELLLLP!!... AAAAGG-“*
I’ll never forget watching this many, many years ago as a kid and being absolutely floored by the progression of this little guy going from doing a convincing kookaburra impression to imitating two different camera sounds to mimicking a car alarm decently well to speaking fluent chainsaw in the span of a couple minutes. I genuinely didn’t know birds could *do* that.
Wow! I thought the simple bird impersonations were impressive, then the camera shutter and the car alarm, too. But that chainsaw sound was unbelievable. O.O
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.
@CHIGGS 58TH, What was it? For every 10 bullets shot only 1 emu was killed? They dodged too well 😂 I think cats will be better and they are smaller targets lol
That "camera with a motor drive" is the most incredible sound I've heard out of a wild animal...I wouldn't believe it if David Attenborough wasn't saying so!!
This is actually a bit of misdirection. The sounds you're hearing are actually from a famous lyre bird from Adelaide Zoo named Chook, who was surrounded by man-made noises and incorporated them into his songs. 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).
They all lie on tv. Part of being allowed there. Don't ever trust any of them. They have to do very bad things to be part of their elite club. Although, this bird is amazing
For anyone that thinks this is fake, it very much is not. When my mother was in Australia and went to a zoo that had a Lyre, the bird imitated small children and other noises it heard throughout the 20-30 minutes that she spent there. They’re incredible.
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. 😂😂😂
That’s not just ONE kookaburra cry he’s doing, that’s multiple calls in concert. Same with the chainsaw, you can actually hear that another chainsaw starts right at the middle
@@TheCandiceWang yeah, crazy how good their mimicry is. Not just to imitate a chainsaw, but to imitate ANOTHER chainsaw behind the first chainsaw. Earth is so fucking cool
@@suebelzer6536 your right, it was a tense moment, almost gave me anxiety as the camera moved in to see him perform the chainsaw. I was so surprises this thing exist. 2019
The chainsaw was utterly hilarious. He also made sounds of branches cracking and a manual saw, sawing. Incredible. He captured the entire process from start to finish and did his own editing.
Imagine you being lost in jungle and suddenly you hear car alarm and chainsaw....running around for being rescued but found nothing..... Then you start weeping in sorrow..... And then you hear your own weeping sound.... 😂😂
For his next mating call, the sound of a woman screaming while being stabbed. Then the sound of a guy throwing her body in the truck with a chainsaw.... fascinating. So complex.
Imagine being in the forest saying come save me or I’m here! And your running around in circles while this bird repeats what you say this bird the the jungles jerk 😂
@AdamWayneone That's good, I think......? In the throes of a cold and having just woken up is making my brain a little fuzzy. 😲 I have bad anxiety and watch YT at night to wind down after work while waiting for my sleep meds to kick in.
Amazing bird. David Attenburgh has been so fortunate in his life, the places he has visited and the wildlife he has seen. The photography is first class.
He is the best ever and nobody can really follow him .His quiet unassuming ways with the ability to point out quirky details and facts is best ,Some of the later presenters are a little bit to anthropomorphic with the wildlife .
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.
Pretty common for them to mimick deforestation though. Crazy how australia is mostly deserts yet we decide to cut down the few trees we actually have. Our government is a disgrace worst managed wildlife and forrests in the world they will kill anything for a quick dollar
@@darkclouds27 Many of us when we go camping in the aussie bush only take photo's and leave footprints. Shame the little fellow knows the sound of a chain saw tho.
"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.
that's not impressive at all. Their home is increasingly dwindling and now they know the sound of chainsaws and machinery and and car alarms... that's so bad...
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.
The most amazing thing about the Lyre Bird was the imitation of David Attenborough's voice all the way through. Impressive.

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!

I’ll never forget watching this many, many years ago as a kid and being absolutely floored by the progression of this little guy going from doing a convincing kookaburra impression to imitating two different camera sounds to mimicking a car alarm decently well to speaking fluent chainsaw in the span of a couple minutes.
I genuinely didn’t know birds could *do* that.
That is the most incredible thing I've ever seen.

Brilliant...lol
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.
For real though... cats are terrifying predators.
Wow, they're amazing. Thanks for sharing 😊
@CHIGGS 58TH, Didn't Australia already have a war against emus and lost? The Great Emu War right? Do you really think they can win against cats? 😅
Tnr is the perfect way to deal with feral cats but most countries/cities dont want to spend money unti it's out of control.
@CHIGGS 58TH, What was it? For every 10 bullets shot only 1 emu was killed? They dodged too well 😂 I think cats will be better and they are smaller targets lol
"after the stellar chainsaw performance, the bird will now sing Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 2 in D Major"
Oh crap that's such a good idea actually XDDDD can it do polyphonic singing ?!
I wonder if you played it often enough whether the bird would actually start to pick it up...
And he will close with an Aria !!!!
I actually wonder if they made one of theme listen to an orchestra if it would be able to mimic it.
I did teach a few parrots a tube from Suite Arlésienne a few years ago. They picked it up quite fast, perfectly in tune.
Damn..could you imagine being lost in the forest with no one in sight but you keep hearing the shutter of a camera..😳📸

And laser guns, apparently.
😂😂IM DEAD

Wow I love birds
The chainsaw part totally blew my mind!
Can u imagine walking through that area at nightfall by yourself, and hearing that Chainsaw behind you? LoL!
But I don't like the idea of chainsaws in this forest.
Yes, it is real.
And thats the sad part that it can mimik that, since it will not be able to do it the first time it heard it but after several times..

@@mysundNot as funny as you probably thought it would be!
That "camera with a motor drive" is the most incredible sound I've heard out of a wild animal...I wouldn't believe it if David Attenborough wasn't saying so!!
This is actually a bit of misdirection. The sounds you're hearing are actually from a famous lyre bird from Adelaide Zoo named Chook, who was surrounded by man-made noises and incorporated them into his songs. 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).
Chris Ducat - I listened to it like 10x. Simply incredible.
They all lie on tv. Part of being allowed there. Don't ever trust any of them. They have to do very bad things to be part of their elite club. Although, this bird is amazing
@@placeofmirages9518 - whatcha talkin about Willis?
@@mikea5205 things way over your head. That u won't understand until it's too late.
For anyone that thinks this is fake, it very much is not. When my mother was in Australia and went to a zoo that had a Lyre, the bird imitated small children and other noises it heard throughout the 20-30 minutes that she spent there. They’re incredible.
Amazon parrots and African gray parrots do the same thing. My macaw knows about a vocabulary of a thousand words but he's mostly a mumbler.
I haven't seen a single person who thought this was fake lol.... but thanks ;)

The chainsaw was utterly hilarious. He also made sounds of branches cracking and a manual saw, sawing. Incredible. He captured the entire process from start to finish and did his own editing.

For his next mating call, the sound of a woman screaming while being stabbed. Then the sound of a guy throwing her body in the truck with a chainsaw.... fascinating. So complex.
I think this has to be satire
It makes me wonder if he heard all of those noises firsthand or if some noises are passed from bird to bird?
Wow that is actually terrifying by how accurate the sounds are.

He is the best ever and nobody can really follow him .His quiet unassuming ways with the ability to point out quirky details and facts is best ,Some of the later presenters are a little bit to anthropomorphic with the wildlife .
The bird is telling his Life's story through his songs..such a good listener
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.
mimic them*
That’s such a relief to know!!
Pretty common for them to mimick deforestation though. Crazy how australia is mostly deserts yet we decide to cut down the few trees we actually have. Our government is a disgrace worst managed wildlife and forrests in the world they will kill anything for a quick dollar
