Thanks for the video Erik

lame +**** you Erik who ever you are...

Wow, thats an impressive bird. The original conman. The camera and chainsaw noises are spot on!

Wow ok that is very cool

Hehe best movie this week :D

Hmmm, the chainsaw and the camera sounded a bit TOO spot on to me. But if it's real, then the Parrots of the world may be getting replaced soon.

Amazing bird. Yeah the construction crew seemed unbelievable, but if its true, amazing indeed!

oh dude that can't be real

It is very real. These birds are amazing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrebird

awesome if true

suks

dude,the car alarm and the photo tackind sound seemed out of the question,but honestly,a chaisaw?

Hahaha, at the beggining, the bird sounds like R2-D2

TOO BAD SOME OF THE SOUNDS ARE JUST SPOOF

.

Its all real. Stop not believing everything that happens that seems far fetched!

To those who say this is , thats david attenborough presenting for the BBC nature documentary planet earth. He and the BBC has nothing to gain from it being d on a program and any small amount of research would show this, sometimes nature really is this impressive and I would suggest to all impressed by this to watch attenborough's work which is some of the best of the BBC

I wanna have this toy.

I like it how in 01:05 it sounds like the bird goes: "here cuckoo" and then whistles...

It is very real, i didn't believe it either but I looked up this video and it is indeed a documentary from the BBC. Wiki also gives a lot of info, and all the sounds are mentioned there too.

cool

man, i guess the slogan on animal planet is true, "animals did it first"

"Lyrebirds render with great fidelity the individual songs of other birds and the chatter of flocks of birds, and also mimic other animals, human noises, machinery of all kinds, explosions and musical instruments. The lyrebird is capable of imitating almost any sound — from a mill whistle to a cross-cut saw, and, not uncommonly, sounds as diverse as chainsaws, car engines and alarms, rifle-shots, camera shutters, dogs barking and crying babies."

Hi folks. I live in Victoria, Australia where these birds live. They live in the bush. I saw one once while on holidays in the country and had no idea what weird bird it could be. Now I know thanks to this vid and I can assure you the noises it makes are real!!! Which is why I freaked out when I saw this amazing bird.

David, you are the best, I think it's cool man ..

I have heard and seen Lyrebird displays(on one occasion two mails "competing" with each other) and the video is 100% true. Wait til you hear them mymic a motor bike!

For those who are doubtful I suggest you do a little research into this amazing bird.

In 1065 I namws our Wildlife Rfeuge in Kangraoo Valley NSW CHAKOLA (aboriginal for the Lyre Bird). WONDERFUL are they not ?

The chainsaw thingwas the most impressive

Try again,sorry ! In 1965 I named our Wildlife Refuge (No 207,Kangaroo Valley NSW) CHAKOLA (one aboriginal dialect for Lyre Bird.Wonderful are they Not ?Recently I saw a lyre Bird chasing away a Goanna from the nest.That done a chorus was offered second to none that I had heard. Is not this sound track a little Dysney-ish ? Is that beak really issuing all those sounds or are these superimposed,albeit they are real I agree.'fess up ?

Gee ! What a beaut' film.Menura Novahollandiae does live4 in Vistoria but also NSW and southern Queensalnd.And Kangaroo Valley NSW.Lucky us ?

Must have!

To all those who think it is . You have not done any research on the subject. The bird is very real and does exist. It can do all that this video shows. Do some research befor you state that it is not real. Try GOOGLE>

LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS BEFORE THE CHAIN SAW STUFF AND YOU WILL HEAR LITTLE REVERB. WHEN THE CHAIN SAW STUFF HAPPENS AND THE SAME DISTANCE THERE IS REVERB... UNLESS THIS BIRD CAN SOMEHOW MIMIC REVERB IN HIS SOUNDS (I DOUBT IT) THE LOGGING SOUNDS ARE .

i imitated a chain-saw to meet girls at a party once, worked out pretty well for me too.

Man ... so many doubters , Attenborough pwnz . What he doesn't know about wildlife aint worth knowing !!! The BBC dont fook about with their documentaries , but I guess many of you dumb-asses wouldn't know that !! :D

this is not !

i live in south australia and i have seen these so don't say it is

i live in south australia and i have seen these so don't say it is

Its regular bird, cant believe some dont know it...

Have to say I have seen it in educational movie years ago.

lesten you asses things are put here because there funny or impressive if your to close minded to realise there is more to the world then whats in your sterieo tipicial minds dont post lame ass comments about it. And stop saying fish!

fish

fish

That was just so cool! It looks , but BBC is right! Thanks, Dantalion.

Uhh, Kombat? The bird is in a forest. A forest CLEARING. With trees around it. Of course there's going to be reverb. The bird doesn't have to mimic it. It occurs naturally in the background.

thats a pretty impressive bird...if its real that is! can anyone give me proof that this is real cos im finding it very hard to beleive. the chainsaw bit is just unatural!!!

what does fish mean???????????????????????????

bonjour! il y a 739 lyre birds et 1 attenborough! fish!!!!!!!!!!!

what do you reckon i should do? i saw a dead pheasant in park roed in hartlepool!!! HARTLEPOOL!!!!! how many pheasants do you see in hartlepool! i was gonna call the rspca but there is not much they can do bout it cos its dead! i just wanna know how it got there!!!!!!!!!!

For those nonbelievers, try looking it up from wikipedia

If she can mimmick Pamela Anderson, she'd be a fit bird.

Lyrebirds are native to Southeastern Australia and are reknown as master mimics. I live just outside Melbourne and the lyrebird lives in the nearby Dandenong ranges. The BBC documentary and David Attenborough are absolutely accurate and correct - the lyrebird does everything that is represented in this clip from Planet Earth.

ooo very nice and good. Thanks you

sweeeet I wonder how many girls I would get if I tried that! ;)

This is as true it can be. You doubting fu*kers can go to hell or look up some other information. Attenborough sure is one of the best at BBC. All of my respect to him _/

chainsaw....... thats bad. Good vid

Please do let us know if you have arranged any UK wrskohops... I would be very interested... there are several show happening in Harrogate in Sept a Quilt show.. in Oct. Fashion & Embroidery & the Knitting & Stitching Show.. which also takes place in London/Dublin/Birmingham.. but maybe you are to late for these... or did you just want to do more local wrskohops? Maybe I should enquire at my local guild & patchwork group to see if anything could be arranged? but this would mean you traveling up to North Yorkshire... would this be to far from Cambridge?hoping to hear from you..Triciatricia@magicindigo.com

Could you write about Phcyiss so I can pass Science class?

I know that overwhelming etmioon Geraldine. It often confuses me because it really is sadness, grief and joy all rolled into one. I am so grateful for the joy part as it enables me to enjoy the tears. xoxoxo
