Two videos on lyrebirds. They are not the same video! Please - watch 'em both!

Clicky

And the second link.

And here's the Wikipedia link on lyrebirds. Absolutely amazing.

This zoo lyrebird (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeQjkQpeJwY) imitates other birds and construction work.

The links Connie posted had me going "pshaw, that's fake." But the one you posted shows it's believable and still absolutely amazing. Someone there posted the zoo's website. Wow.

Pretty sure it's not fake - the second link I posted came directly from the show.

The first one has parody edit bits, but the second one does look like the original from the show. :-)

I'm not sure the first one was edited - and I know the second one is from the show because if I try to post it here I get a message saying you can't do that because it's copyrighted.

It says in the description that the first one was edited.

[conuly]

Does it? You're joking. Well, now I feel silly...

Wait, no, it doesn't. It says that it was put together, but not that the sounds were edited.

AT any rate, the second one really wasn't edited, and we know that, so it's still awesomely impressive.
