Lyrebirds are so cool! I knew they could mimick but not like that! If I knew the one I seen near Sherbrooke Falls, Belgrave could do that I would have taught it swear words. But if you can’t find one it would seem that area surrounding Sherbrooke Falls in Belgrave is teeming with them. but what trips me is that all the other birds in the area like Kookaburras, Magpies & Cockatoos are VERY intelligent up there with the best…

The “laugh” is the call of the Kookaburra.

@ jerramy……”They” didn’t “have” to teach it construction noises. If you bothered to read the video description, you will see that construction was going on near the lyre bird’s enclosure, and it just picked up these noises. The lyre bird was just mimicking it’s surroundings… as it would in the wild. Get educated, and maybe try learning how to read the video description first!

I could imagine people using this genius of nature for all sorts of things…. I wonder if they can imitate human speech… probably.
