#lyrebird — Public Fediverse posts

If you’re not Australian you’d be wondering what this weird display was. We Victorians know it’s a male Lyrebird, trying to attract a mate. Sadly, photos don’t carry sound - his repertoire of other birds’ calls was impressive - and included a chainsaw!

She might be out of the running for bird of the year but I still love her. #lyrebird #waterfall #BlueMountains

This is Nova, the male Lyrebird. He’s the father of the chick I posted recently - and he was my friend. There was a bench in the Lyrebird aviary at Healesville - if I sat on it Nova would come and sit next to me. He would listen carefully to what I said - then repeat it. He shocked his keeper one day when he said loudly “good boy”! I had to explain I taught him to say that. Nova is the only male Lyrebird to produce young in captivity - so when his partner Reefton died the Sanctuary sent him to Adelaide to see if he would mate with their female.

While we’re on the baby theme - here’s a baby Lyrebird. Healesville Sanctuary, in Victoria, Australia, is the only place to breed Lyrebirds in captivity. This is their 9th. Lyrebirds live on the forest floor - in semi darkness, so this was a tricky photo to get.

Probably one of the most amazing wildlife clips you’ll ever see, and it never grows old. The unbelievable Lyre Bird. Anyone who underestimates animals should check this out.
If you haven’t seen the clip, make sure you do, and stick with it until the end. It’s brilliant and well worth it!

Copycats should really be CopyBIRDS .

Cats are poor imitators compared to their feathery prey.

Have just been watching a family of Superb Lyrebirds scrape through the fallen leaf litter. It's overcast and rainy here today, so couldn't get the greatest photos, but so happy to see them anyway!

If you've never heard one of these mimicking other birds, car alarms and chainsaws, check out the classic David Attenborough vid of just that:

Quite amazing!

#Lyrebird pretending to be a #kookaburra. These guys are my absolute all time favourite bird. It performed for us non-stop for literally half an hour. Dancing, weird sounds, tail fanning. Just gorgeous

briefly watched a #lyrebird today :BigBlobhajHug: also listened to their remarkable call minutes earlier 😆 it really goes from imitating chainsaws and Kookaburras to a bunch of other stories 😂

Nova, the Lyrebird, is in full song at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria, Australia. Maybe he knows it's St Patrick's Day!

A lyrebird at Taronga Zoo has been mimicking the "evacuate now" alarm since the lions escaped their enclosure several days ago (the lions were all recaptured safely with no injury to any person or any lion).
