Right after the R2D2, that laughing sound was a kookaburra call. And a really good one too.

@kevinpaine7893 Год назад

Those camera sounds are likely to be from the lyrebird itself. They have been recorded imitating cameras, car alarms and even chainsaws.

@stevemurrell6167 Год назад

Yes, the laughing sound it is mimicking is a pitch perfect Kookaburra call. They will also mimic man made sounds like camera shutters, camera motor winds, chainsaws, childrens toys (incl. R2D2!), car alarms, hammers hammering, crosscut saws, babies crying.....pretty much anything they hear.....and do it perfectly.

@gomezgomezian3236 Год назад

Yes! The footage of a lyrebird mimicking a human baby crying is quite astounding! But it does make me wonder about the explanation regarding the sulphur crested cockatoos. If a single bird in captivity can learn to mimic a baby crying, why would the cockatoo be a problem with 30 or 40 years exposure?

I'm Australian and have seen a lyrebird live, and so many videos of them but watching it make the kookaburra call has me all discombobulated! It reminded me of the first time I ate a yellow cherry tomato - properly surreal!

@AnimeWolf56 Год назад

So I work at a wildlife sanctuary in Vic, Australia, and we have a resident Lyrebird. He loves to sing and dance for visitors this time of year, and he has quiet the interesting noise selection due to all the things around the sanctuary, including construction sounds, sounds used in our bird show, and he even shared his cage with a bower bird (another mimic) for a while, and they taught each other some noises! Also, those extra animals at the start, in order are a male King Parrot, Crimson Rosellas, Swamp Wallaby, and Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo! Then at 16:28 we have some Grey Kangaroos and a little Eastern Yellow Robin.

@triarb5790 Год назад

Prior to the 2009 fires, I know that lyrebirds in Kinglake used to make the sound of old double handled manual tree saws from a hundred years ago. The sound being passed down from adult to chicks! I don't know how many, if any, lyrebirds survived that awful day. Do you?

@jessaminedavis1526 Год назад

They are such good mimics and beautiful birds. I remember, at the end of last year, some lions escape their enclosure at Taronga Zoo (Sydney), which of course set off the evacuation alarm and it was all over the news, then a few days later, turned on the news to find out that the Zoo's resident Lyrebird (named Echo) had started using the alarm in his song, right down to even saying the words 'evacuate now', and this was not long after he had started using crying baby sounds. Truly amazing birds

@Erizedd Год назад

Just to let you know (and not many people know this): the snapping 'laser gun' sounds the bird makes is not actually a sound he's mimicking, but is actually the lyrebird's natural call. It's the only sound that is natural to that bird and not a mimic. 🙂

@alwynemcintyre2184 Год назад

In Sydney earlier this year they had lion cubs escape there enclosure at the zoo, the zoo sounded an alarm and an emergency message to leave the zoo. By the next day the resident lyrebird was doing the alarm and message.

Lyrebirds in zoos and sanctuaries in the major cities come out with some interesting sounds. They can accurately imitate sirens, alarms, camera shutter clicks, phone ring tones, the sounds of car doors opening and closing, as well as the sounds of the other birds both native and exotic, and some other animals they can hear from their enclosure. I have two favourite Australian birds: Wedge Tailed eagle, and Cassowary.

A visit to my grandparents in the coastal bush, always included a symphony by the resident lyrebird. It could bark like a dog. It drove the dog crazy calling out her name. And one time, had an entire rescue crew searching for hours for what sounded like a crying child. They were not happy to discover that it was not a child that was responsible for the crying. 😅

The one where Debbie stopped the video and asked if someone had been laughing in the Forest was the lyrebird mimicking a Kookaburra. They make that characteristic laugh - it’s a quintessentially Australian sound. The Kookaburra is a member of the Kingfisher family... you may enjoy videos of the Kookaburra too!

@brooka86 Год назад

The red/green bird is a king parrot, the red/blue bird is a rosella. The laughing call the lyrebird makes is a mimic of the kookaburra. The photo shutter noise you heard was also the lyrebird. They also make very convincing chainsaw calls.

@goodshipkaraboudjan Год назад

The biggest thing I missed from Australia when I had to live overseas was the birdsong in the morning, even in the suburbs it's so cool. My favorite is the whip birds call while the plover call always sends a cold shiver up my spine.

@DavidCalvert-mh9sy Год назад

They can apparently mimic a chain saw perfectly.

@adamparker9765 Год назад

I think I may have suggested this for you guys. Glad you like it. As the bloke said the Lyre bird did about 10 to 15 other birds right there . They copy whatever they are exposed to , like sounds from a construction site, cameras, and my grandfather heard one making the sound of a man chopping wood. For many years we never knew what the birds actual call was because it does every other bird . They are very pretty and elusive . Another fascinating Aussie bird is the Bower bird . The male builds a little nest and decorates it with blue objects and does a dance for the ladies . They are a beautiful metallic blue colour .

@luciebatt Год назад

I live very close to the forest in the video. I’ll never forget going on a walk there when I was a child. I kept hearing a car revving the engine and jumped off the track because I thought I was about to be run over. It wasn’t until after that I realised no cars could get in there and it must have been a lyrebird. It sounded identical!

@trevorpom Год назад

They also mimic human noises like chainsaws, car alarms, camera shutters (which you mentioned) and people coughing. They are absolutely amazing. The calls I recognized are, Black cockatoo, Noisy minor, Whip bird, Currawong, Magpie, Kookaburra (the laughing), and Willy Wagtail and maybe Lorikeet. Birds are awesome and the dawn chorus in Australia is really something to experience.

@davidmc105 Год назад

You know how sometimes coincidences happen and they mean nothing to anyone but yourself but they’re so odd you feel you have to tell someone? So I’m reading a new nature book to my 6 year old yesterday at bedtime and it has a section on tropical birds (not the Lyre bird though). So I tell him about this amazing naturalist whose work I was brought up on in the UK in the 80s and who introduced many of us to some of the amazing, little-known creatures we share this planet with. Then I bring up some of David Attenborough’s videos on YT and the first one we watch is a 14 year old upload from a 1990s show where David Attenborough tells us all about the Lyre Bird. My 6 year old LOVES it - especially the camera shutter and chainsaw sounds and proceeds to show his mum and brothers the same video twice this evening. We have a chuckle and move on. Then 3 hours later, this shows up in my subscriptions feed. The chances of that happening are not zero, but they’re not a LOT higher than zero… Sometimes those coincidences are hard to accept as being pure chance… Looking forward to this one, ladies. :)

@carolniven6223 Год назад

Hi Ladies! The Lyrebird gets its name from the shape of the tail plumage. When it is held upright like a peacock tail, it looks like a Lyre (musical instrument) complete with "strings". The laughter is a copy of the kookaburra's call. That sound that the old "African" movies used to get lampooned about (Tarzan, Jungle Jim etc) as kookaburras are only native to Australia and NOT Africa. The red and blue parrots are one form of rosellas. Many Australian birds can sound like many other things. I also noted whip birds in the audio (similar to a whip cracking). I still remember my poor father just after he bought his brand-new car and I was a little kid at the time (not yesterday). We went down bellbird gully to see and hear the bellbirds. Poor dad couldn't figure out where the squeaking in his brand-new car was coming from, so he stopped the car and searched all around it scratching his head. While bellbirds can sound like a crystal bell they can also sound like squeaking. You should also check out the video of the lyrebird (don't have its URL currently) where the bird mimics a space invaders machine, a camera with a motor drive, a chainsaw etc. You should also check out video of New Guinea Birds of Paradise, a lot of them pull long tails over heads to display

@michaelmclachlan1650 Год назад

The kookaburra's call was also used in the opening scenes of 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' - set in the Amazonian rainforest!

Theres loads of cats next door so I put on some gloves and picked it up and put it on top of the log store that touches the conifer trees. When I came back in the garden it had climbed in to the conifers and I could hear it flapping about in there. It wasn't cat food last night.

We have an off-grid community just outside Healesville in Victoria. Being an off-grid community they have alarms that warn when their batteries are getting low. The Lyre Birds have learnt to mimic the alarm and tend to have fun doing this at about 2am in the morning.

I love Lyre Birds. It surprised me that they don't imitate Sulphur Crested Cockatoos due to them only being in the area for 40 years (that also I didn't know about the Sherbrooke Forest). It surprised me because they imitate camera shutters, video games, chainsaws, mowers and other mechanical devices. Apologies for my long comment. Great reaction video.

I guess if you go to NSW you’d find ones that mimicking Sulphur Crested Cockatoos.

@@Scooterboi60Lyre Birds are forest dwellers and Sulphur Crested Cockatoos eat seed and therefore prefer to live in grasslands.

I'm a "Birdnerd". I love living in Australia because of this (and other reasons of course) Our birdlife is wild. Favourite bird........probably the Satin Bowerbird just because I love the way it collects blue objects to decorate it's "bower". The Lyrebird is famous in Australia and is on our 10 cent coin. The "laughing" that you hear Is the Lyrebird mimicking laughter, but not human laughter, it's mimicking the call of the Kookaburra. (which sounds like laughter)

My favourite Aussie bird is the magpie. So smart and a beautiful song.

👋 girls. The Lyre birds are on our 10 cent piece. The laughing sound was mimicking a bird called a Kookaburra. I wake up most mornings to them and many other varieties singing. Also, the variety of birds in the suburbs is amazing mainly because there are many native parks and reserves dotting the suburbs and along waterways. The sulphur crested cockatoos are great at mimicking humans and live very long lives. They are being little pests at the moment as they are trying to break apart my fences and fence posts with their beaks.

I have seen and heard lyrebirds calling like these ones, an amazing experience here in eastern Australia.

This is why Australians love our country :D

Can't say that I am a 'bird person', but that was truly entertaining and amazing. Ok Aussies, give you bragging rights on that one.

I'm utterly amazed! Beautiful. As I age, I've come to truly appreciate the bird (Australian type)....we have so many fabulous birds: the lorikeet, the Rosella, sulphur crested & black cockatoos, the pink and grey ones, budgies, kookaburras, kingfishers....and my favourite of all time: the Magpie. Thanks ladies for this! X

Love love love the sound of whip bird. It reminds me of australian rainforests ❤

@lynneclarke6265 Год назад

They were doing some renovation work at the Adelaide Zoo a few years ago. The lyre birds picked up the sounds of nail guns, chain saws, along with all its repertoire of car alarms, sirens, camera shutter clicking, and songs of their bird neighbours.

@Heather.C-kiwi-ninja Год назад

This was so wonderful to watch, beautiful scenery and one extremely impressive bird. The Lyre bird is now on my list of favourite birds 😄👍

@Anonamiss782 Год назад

That laughing sound is the bird mimicking a Kookaburra. They make noises all night here in rural Victoria in the summer. I find myself telling them to go to bed too 😂

@E4mj Год назад

It's really interesting as an Australian, hearing all the different other bird calls in the mix... that being said, we used to have a bush property that had Lyre birds... and they mostly copied the car, chainsaw, and our neighbors dog. Truly spectacular!

Just love you two you always bring lots of smiles to my face,because you are so natural nothing fake about you 2. Any way thanks for your video on Aussie birds and I’m Australian and learnt some interesting info. Thanks again for your show.

@JustIn-mu3nl Год назад

I grew up around the area he filmed, the whip sound is their natural call.

@Philipk65 Год назад

Wow that was fantastic footage. This was great and rare they are normally a very elusive bird that will scamper off at the slightest disturbance. I heard that during world war two, there were reports of Lyre birds imitating machine gun fire.

@davidareeves Год назад

Whenever I see these type of videos, reminds me of my backyard where (North of this video) I grew up. My father was a Forest Ranger, as you would know it, and we had three mountains around us. Was never a dull moment as a kid, who the hell needed TV when these sorts of guys are around! There are some other amazing videos of these guys going crazy, cars, chainsaws, phones ringing and more. Favourite Bird for me would be the King Parrot (red breasted one at the start of the video ;) )
