Lyrebirds at Sydney's Taronga Zoo have learnt to mimic the sound of the alarm that sounded after lions breached their enclosure prompting a park lockdown.
We were so lucky to be at Taronga Zoo on Dec 27th, where one of the keepers taking care of the birds actually showed us this video! She was the one who recorded it. She also let us feel the mealworms and the crickets in the bucket she was going to feed the birds. I wanted to comment because this employee didn’t have to interact with us, but she was so gracious and kind to myself, my husband and our two young sons. I’m fact, all the staff at Taronga Zoo was great. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we came back again a week later! Thank you for the wonderful experiences!!
