Mimicry by Lyrebird

[Carol Probets <>]

Carl and others,

There was a  thread about this some years ago which would be in the 
Birding-Aus archives. Apparently the David Attenborough lyrebird was 
a captive bird at Healesville Sanctuary and was raised in an 
environment where it heard these sounds frequently during its 
song-learning phase.
Cheers

Carol
