The incredible sound-mimicking lyrebird
Here's a video clip of a male Australian lyrebird, which sings complex
songs to attract mates. Lyrebirds' songs are composed of sounds they
hear, including sounds from machines, such as a camera's shutter
mechanism and film drive, a car alarm, and logging equipment. This bird
is like a tape recorder. Link (thanks, Coop!)
