If you visit Mt Wiki you will see one is on record as mixing claasical flute with beatbox.<br /><br />Duchess: They have such a reputation for shyness that I coundn't have been more surprised at how extrovertedly funny this little group was. Yet that is the one & only time we ever saw lyre birds in the park & we spent a <i>lot</i> of time in there. I have once seen a bird up here ~ & only realised what it was because I'd seen them once before.<br /><br />Seeking: the coolest!<br /><br />Julie: He does, doesn't he? I'm a sucker for a good mimic. ☺Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-76348156328854950282010-11-30T14:47:37.067-08:002010-11-30T14:47:37.067-08:00I have never seen anything like this.

So much for them being shy and alone! The first one darted out across my path and as the park speed limit is now down to 70km/hr, even 60 in some spots, I had time to realise what I'd just seen run across the road and slowed nearly to a stop to get a good look as it then casually strutted off into the bush! I really wanted to stop to hear if the bird had taken a liking to making any motorcycle sounds and if so, which ones!! <br /><br />Sadly, the second one I came across was a victim of a run in with a vehicle. I actually was angry that someone had hit one and wondered how on earth they could, only being allowed to travel so slowly on that road. <br /><br />In all my years of going through that park, that was the first time I had ever seen Lyre birds there! And two in one day!Duchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086548777303657429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-16479124464478588322010-11-29T23:53:30.658-08:002010-11-29T23:53:30.658-08:00It is just amazing to listen to these birds, I jus...It is just amazing to listen to these birds, I just love the chainsaw, it was spot on and the camera is quite funny. I wonder what goes through their little brains and if they think about which sound to make. . . do they find it funny!!!Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-27526797881891662972010-11-29T20:14:58.300-08:002010-11-29T20:14:58.300-08:00I have seen that video before and that bird is imp...I have seen that video before and that bird is impressive! I mean I have heard parrots that friends have had for pets, but that bird has such skill to just mimic call after call after call! They must be a real treat to see live and in person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908763126393633050noreply@blogger.com
