A lyrebird at Healesville Sanctuary, Victoria, Australia, showing off his mimicking skills. A camera shutter, a siren, a video game... What else can you identify?
nightvisiongoggles1 How do you think they got the laser sounds passed on generations after generations? The old forgotten space wars from way before our recorded history.
What gets me with this bird is just how baffling it is that it hears sounds and they are stored somewhere in the brain, then able to be played back with ridiculous accuracy, just incredible.
I lived near some Lyre birds ( i think there were two). was very hot at night in summer so slept with the window open, the buggers learnt my alarm sound, so could be having a nap sometimes, and there goes the alarm, and me trying to turn it off. Amazing birds.
At 0:22 and 1:08 I hear ZIPPERS, like maybe from a tent or camera bag. Didn't notice any other comments about zippers, so I thought I'd put it out there....
@@personanonymous1344 Sorry, I set my timestamps a second or two before the actual zipper noises so that you could clearly hear them begin. So yes, that's a camera shutter at the 1st timestamp, immediately followed by a zipper... it actually sounds like a 3-sided zipper on a square pocket or lid of a camera bag or something. I initially thought it must be the sound of film advancing in a 35mm camera, but it sounds more like a zipper to me. Plus at the second timestamp (just after an unidentified noise), you hear the same 3-sided zipper noise, then again in reverse, like someone's opening and closing a bag. Btw, at 00:32 I hear "shut up" and at 00:37 I hear "sure hope so". Can't remember if those were mentioned yet or not.
I like to imagine the same satisfaction you feel when you can pull off an accurate impression is felt by this bird and he's just flexin for the humans recording
They must learn that laser sound from each other. It is like some traditional folktale to them originating from some kid from the eighties who likes to play with sci-fi toys and including a narrow escape of a heroic lyrebird.
Apparently the laser sound is instinctive and is already part of their innate repertoire of noises. The rest is mimicry. This bird is absolutely astonishing.
Baffles me just how perfectly birds can imitate things, especially with beaks. I swear.... sometimes they sound more like a thing than that thing itself. I just.... HOW?!
I had all of the toys that made those exact sounds as a kid and hearing them again made me feel really happy and a little disturbed at the same time. What a wonder of creation this bird is.
I once walked through the woods to escape the noisy city but among the chirps of birds I could hear a sound that reminded me of the noisy cities more than ever...... My heart raced and I ran for my life full of fear..... I finally reached home panting.....I sat down to watch youtube hoping to forget the horrifying experience from the woods......Here I am then laughing my head out because I just realised I listened to one of the best pieces of music by a band of lyrebirds
0:591:001:06 I'm guessing that the sounds mimic a camera taking a photo, an ambulance, and what sounds like.. Some alarm combined with cars in the distance.
Just had a really weird feeling watching this bird. He is like a cosmic space alien, I felt the numinous in every sound, every feather moving, every blink, what a trip.
Such a genius Sweetheart!😍 Lyre birds are amazing. I am also impressed by Australian Magpies! I am impressed by all of birds. I absolutely adore them. Love of my life
Absolutely amazing. It even had the backup alarm in the background as it was making other sounds. There is a bird that sits outside my window and plays my ringtone at all hours. It wakes me up in the morning and even has me grabbing my phone during the day to answer it.
Not only is it the world's best mimic, it is the mother of all song birds. Song birds first started in Australia. Fossil evidence showed the lyre bird was probably the mother of all song birds. A Swedish team looked at the DNA evidence and showed that it is the mother of all song birds.
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Lets see that feathery bastard peel his own apples then, or better yet, cut his own damn grapes into circles with that ridiculous pair of mouth scissors he has for a face then
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Oh I see, you were in fact being serious this entire time, I genuinely apologize. You will forgive me if I assumed that your previous comments were actually just you kidding around with me this entire time. I'll admit it can be pretty hard to tell who is and isn't in on the joke over the internet (your comment proving this fact), and while I'll admit that it wasn't even that funny a joke to begin with I thought that it was obviously understood that I was in no way being serious. My mistake. I can clearly see now that you are in fact just unironically that condescending and s-tupid. I humbly apologize once again. So rereading your comments with all that in mind, I guess all I can really say now is get bent you pretentious douche.
This bird is amazing. I just met him yesterday, doing star Wars theme, guns, C3PO & R2D2. He does so many sounds in one, many metallic sounds. I'm just certain he either is a robot from somewhere else, and has metal gears in there helping with the sounds OR he's the New recordable DVD PLAYER & THOSE PERFECT sounds are recordings...nahhh I'm kidding but he DOES MAKE THE SOUNDS T H A T GOOD!
David attenborough did a. Piece on this same bird,,He exclaimed the saddest sound he makes is" the sound of chainsaws that he had heard in the forest,,,"
I think that the bird is trying to communicate that it doesn't want to take photos to it, if you realize the first sound is a camera, later as a angry sound and at last, when does the camera sound the bird Start making like star wars sound or like a weapon.
Put a group of them together and you'll have a full-on space war
nightvisiongoggles1 How do you think they got the laser sounds passed on generations
after generations? The old forgotten space wars from way before our recorded history.
Wow you heard the Zap gun aswell.
This bird must have been raised over a Star Wars fan's house lol
@Colin Reye Maybe, but how do you explain the birds in different areas of the world having the same sounds?
@@MicroModDude yo bro that’s trippy
0:55 did my mans just get interrupted
You're damn right :)))))
ahahahah smh😤😤😆
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
That bird told the lure to stfu 😂
The way he just moved right after tho
All I need in my life is a bed, a chair, a guitar... and a lyrebird.
How about wataaa
Yez,

@Coo Koo yes❤️
...and this lamp....
-tail goes up-
"So I started blasting..."

My god
Attack while its tail is up! It'll counterattack with its laser!
What gets me with this bird is just how baffling it is that it hears sounds and they are stored somewhere in the brain, then able to be played back with ridiculous accuracy, just incredible.
50, look at bird bath
And it's a bird-brain! How inappropriate is that term?
The brain is beyond our comprehension.

2:00 Finally out of ammo
DAMNIT
Hahahaha...HUMAN CASUALTIES: 0.0
Revive me bro I got ray gun
Lol
*Reffil ammo in seed box*
did someone take this bird to a lazer tag arena tf
This isn't the first time I've seen a recording of one of these making that noise. Something they've encountered must be making that noise
Probably kuds playing around close to the enclosure
@@1TW1-m5i It's possible you've seen this same one in a different video, this one in particular is a popular resident at an enclosure.
Dayum, this bird is not even reloading. It has activated the ammo cheat code
Nah it's just a TS High-Capacity Laser Blaster Mk3, used prominently by the opposition during the Egyptian x Alien conflict of 2550 B.C..
DON'T let this bird watch an x-rated movie at your house and then have your parents come over.
😂😂😂😂😂
Speaking from experience?
LOL
Someone get this bird to do the dial-up modem sound for extra weirdness.
@@DJdoppIer omg yeeeeeeeees!
1:08 that zipper sound is SOOO good
It's a scratch on a vinyl disc like dj's do.
@@trabalhador3740 I thought of that, too
Plot twist: someone took a leak
0:37 "shut up, son"
The cackle at the end had me crying. 😂💀
sounded more like "so awesome" in a brit accent
sounds more like "that's awesome"
Sounds more like "sure hope so" to me.
Although it sounds like "shutup" at 0:32.
the one that caught me off guard the most was the bird perfectly mimicking a Kookaburra
For a moment he sounded like multiple kookaburras from what I heard, which is even more insane
@@atriox7221 I think it an produce 2 different sounds and song at once
Not"only"a sound, but also such a true and typical for Kookaburra emotion
Not the car alarm? 😂
Yeahhh man this
I lived near some Lyre birds ( i think there were two). was very hot at night in summer so slept with the window open, the buggers learnt my alarm sound, so could be having a nap sometimes, and there goes the alarm, and me trying to turn it off. Amazing birds.
That sounds like psychological warfare, what the fuck?
ha ha ha... hilarious
omg that's hilarious, how long did it take for them to learn it?
Every time she stops after shooting lasers: "Target eliminated"
At 0:22 and 1:08 I hear ZIPPERS, like maybe from a tent or camera bag. Didn't notice any other comments about zippers, so I thought I'd put it out there....
I was about to comment that XD
You have something to say...
I think it’s a camera noise

@@IDMYM8 Yes, and I said it... thanks for noticing..?
The REAL mockingbird
If hunger games was based in Australia
Nothing can impersonate as well as the lyrebird. Impersonates a camera shutter and rewind and just about any other sound. Incredible!
It's weird that all the videos of lyrebirds are all of this particular lyrebird.
the most fluent lyre bird
The reason there's so many videos of him is because he's a well-known individual that lives in permanent close proximity to humans.
@@bkjeong4302 Adelaide Zoo Melbourne Australia
How can you tell they’re the same
Ye
He’s like the dude from Police Academy!
michael winslow :) He is fucking hilarious.

Would have been hilarious to have had a Police Academy movie with a lyre bird as Micheal Winslow's side kick.

Good grief, he's like a little noise machine!
In just the last three days the Lyrebird has become my favorite winged creature after the bald eagle!!
Ditto!!!!
Who the fuck likes bald Eagles

Someone's car alarm was going off

So they only copy the most annoying sounds they hear. No chance of ever hearing it copy a symphony any time soon.
Can only replicate sounds it hears. That means ANY sound. Seriously.
He makes the sound of cameras taking photos too THAT'S AWESOME
0:59 1:00 1:06
I'm guessing that the sounds mimic a camera taking a photo, an ambulance, and what sounds like.. Some alarm combined with cars in the distance.
Where did you get ambulance from?
0:32 The bird said "Scoot over" lol! 😆
I love how it puts its tail and then it's just like, reenacting a starwars battle or something.
What a intelligent and extremely super smart little creature 😊
Just had a really weird feeling watching this bird. He is like a cosmic space alien, I felt the numinous in every sound, every feather moving, every blink, what a trip.
His snapshots are pretty clean!
Such a genius Sweetheart!😍 Lyre birds are amazing. I am also impressed by Australian Magpies!
I am impressed by all of birds. I absolutely adore them. Love of my life
1:26 he's shooting a laser gun or he's playing edm
yes
Laser gun. LASER GUN BIRD!
Magnificent lyrebird, beautiful specimen 🙂
Absolutely amazing. It even had the backup alarm in the background as it was making other sounds.
There is a bird that sits outside my window and plays my ringtone at all hours. It wakes me up in the morning and even has me grabbing my phone during the day to answer it.
Did that bird just do an impression of a Kookaburra?
Yes. Very accurate mimic.
This bird at some point heard a camera with automatic shutter and advance. He starts at 0:12 and injects all thru. ~Amazing!
Lyre Bird: *Camera Noises* 0:11
Lyre bird became Leica bird
This is so awesome and amazing and funny at the same time!! Animals are so much smarter than most realize
What a talent!
He sure loves to make that blaster sound.
In the past they wore these birds as wire taps
"Are you wearing a wire?"
"No."
*aggressive laser beam and kookaburra noises from under shirt*

@@transbiologistthetransesto7956 "Did....did your shirt just go 'pew pew'?"
".......No."
Also a gang of reporters with cameras, these birds are incredible!
the kookaburra imitation is amazing
Amazing talent
0:37 I think he says "chop up some". 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He definitely deserves a mate after that
All the lyrebirds near me would sound like a 2 stroke dirtbike. There's heaps of them around. Beautiful animals
So nice... soul soothing
Just when I heard it all. What a darling.
Very beautiful sound
That bird should be taken part in new upcoming star wars movies.
So cute 😍
This is my fav bird of all time
apparently this bird witnessed some crazy fucking space battles

All you need now is a top class dj and you'll have top tracks
Guy: Hey man I think your car alarm is going off...
Me: nah man it's just my bird going off.
When the lyrebird starts taking pictures, you know it's time to run
it turns to look at the camera and makes shutter noises. incredible! it knows that that item makes that noise and can replicate it perfectly.
Meanwhile my bird won't even learn to say thank you after 6 years.

I noticed he went into a pose when he started doing the camera sound. Amazing!
This is where they got the sounds for the Alien Invasion games of the 90s
This bird just came back from one of the Star Wars battles.
These guys are the reason aliens wont invade
What kind of sounds to these birds make?
Yes.
That camera sound is spot on.
This bird had me dying with the laser noises and then that car alarm noise.
