Les perles de Youtube

... doit être juste bon à imiter les autres oiseaux... le reste c'est fake...

Au début, ça me  parraissait gros : Wikipédia ne cite comme source que la vidéo que j'ai posté. Mais j'en ai trouvé d'autres :

du zoo d'Adélaïde, il imite des travaux de constructions. explications sur le site du zoo : http://www.zoossa.com.au/adelaide-zoo/animals-exhibits/animals/birds?species=Superb%20Lyrebird

d'autres vidéos : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1kl7w3sdDE (le même du zoo)

Il y a ça aussi, mais c'est moins fun : https://www.flickr.com/photos/tidalpix/2600127076/

(en sauvage, ils ne font que des cris d'oiseaux, et pas de marteaux piqueurs)

Sinon, dans un style très différend, une mignonne petite vidéo :

Je rajoute l' Arc de Triomphe à ma proposition de vente, toujours pas cher.

je te sens très sceptique....

Non, non, ça me semble tout à fait véridique. Je trouve ça génial. Je ne me lasserais pas d'écouter ça..

L'oiseau Lyre peut il imiter la crédulité de certains AFiens ?

Norman Robinson (deceased some years ago) was the CSIRO lyrebird expert.
Took over the major study of the Tidbinbilla (ACT) Superbs started by Harry
Frith in the late 1950s.   Harry became Chief of the Division of Wildlife
Research and found the administrative responsibilities did not leave him
enough time for the lyrebird project.

It was possibly in the 1970s when Norman was interviewed about lyrebirds for
ABC radio.  At the end of the interview he said something like this:

        "It is often claimed that lyrebirds imitate mechanical sounds of
human origin.  Now it would not be surprising if they could do this, for I
have here a recording of a magpie imitating a horse."

Norman then played the recording.  Several times the magpie started a normal
magpie 'warble' but then continued with a perfect rendering of the neighing
of a horse.  (I think Norman had by then moved to W. A., and it was a Helena
Valley magpie that quite often 'did' the horse imitation.)

And I should add that Norman then went on to say, "However, in over 300,000
feet of recorded tape of lyrebird song, I have not found a single example of
a lyrebird imitating a mechanical sound. If any listener has a recording of
such mimicry, I would be grateful to hear from them."  (I hardly need to add
that he got no response.  Lyrebirds don't.)

Though there is perhaps one exception to that generality - the Dorrigo
"flute-mimicking' lyrebirds: the music of a flute could be regarded as a
mechanical sound?  But that's another story.

mais laissez-nous rêêever, quoi !

moi je sais que l'oiseau lyre peut imiter le riff de Dave Mustaine dans "Psychotron"

y a que des rabats-joie ici...
