As we admire our favorite hummers they know how much we love them, but just so they don't get too cocky there are other interesting birds out there - that you probably never saw - or heard -of. Like the Superb Lyrebird - it mimics and fools over 20 other bird species, while doing a darn good job doing same for a car alarm, chainsaw and - you name it.SEE TO BELIEVE! That' s right. SEE it. While the Mockinbird isn't unnatractive, the Lyre is pretty proud of his (yes, they're males) peakcock-like plumage , in addion to his mating calls, which can be like the sweetest whistle / music... (PLEASE CLICK ON ABOVE TO HEAR THE LYREBIRD IN ACTION)
The Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) is a pheasant-sized Australian songbird, measuring approximately 100 cm (39 in) long and weighing around 1 ...and you thought our Mockingbird was the cat's meow, if you will... This one's got it all...
