The superb lyrebird is an Australian songbird that is incredibly talented when it comes to mimicking sounds you wouldn’t expect to be coming from a bird’s beak. In addition to being able to recreate the calls of over 20 different species of birds, it can also imitate sounds we hear in our everyday life. If you didn’t see that they’re coming from a bird, you wouldn’t even think that that was possible. Take a look at this remarkable mimic in action! You really have to see it to believe it!

What an amazing animal! Was it just me, or was that bird telling me it loved me? Eh, you’re right, I’m acting crazy–of course it did.
