Lyrebird: Nature's Musical Mimic

The Lyrebird, native to Australia, is a masterful mimic, able to imitate a wide range of sounds, including chainsaws, camera shutters, and other bird species. In the 1930s, a flute player released his pet lyrebird into the wild, which was able to mimic certain phrases of the man's music. The bird has shared the music with other lyrebirds, and the same melodies are still sung by these birds today.
