This bird can imitate chainsaws and car alarms! Wtf?!?

January 02nd, 2009

I didn’t really think that my Animal Adventure series would delve into the avian realm. Probably because I like animals that are quirky and weird, and birds don’t usually fall into that category in my book. BOY WAS I WRONG. This lyre bird is a copycat. It imitates the noises of its surroundings, not just other birds but camera shutters! You gotta watch this…

By the way I got this from Carlena Altman‘s blog, a stand-up comedian who also makes Jewish rosaries… Interesting.

PS: Honorable mention to the extinct Dodo bird, the original bird that tickled my fancy since my youth watching cartoons. What cartoon had dodos in it? I can’t remember, someone help me…
