Nature’s Master Impressionist
The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder, including the amazing Lyre bird, the animal kingdom’s master impressionist. The Lyre’s routine is disciplined, first clearing space in the forest to salvage his concert platform, then beginning his symphony of song to attract females. The Lyre can imitate the calls of at least 20 different species. In addition, he incorporates other sounds in the forest to outdo his rivals, such as the click of a camera shutter, the sound of a camera with a motor drive and, astoundingly, the buzz of a busy chainsaw. Here’s more from BBC Earth.
