This is almost unbelievable. I mean the layering.. The bird can mimic not only music, but the voices singing along at the same time??

Hmm. Smells like parody or commercial to me.

erm? parody?

aww, It's probably true. I've seen clips on this bird before that's nothing short of miraculous. Still, unbelievable stuff.

Wow, i thought it was fake. Unbelievable.

i would love to believe its real as well, having seen the other video, but the advertisement at the end gives away its viral nature

Reminds me of http://www.videosift.com/video/Lyrebird-Unbelievable-Jungle-Bird-Mimics-Bird-and-Human-Sounds ...

Thanks for the link, ant. Looks like the vid above is copied directly from the Attenborough piece, with the added "radio" bits. For example, the first guitar riff at 0:45 is the same shot as Attenborough's clip at 2:42. And the next shot at 0:55 is taken from the original at 1:55.

Points for creativity! But definitely fake.

Yep! Nice *viral.... The poster promotes Punx songs. Here's the song the Bird is uh "sampling" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0Yyn_AYtaw&feature=related

skip a bit into it to hear the familiar part.

Adding video to channels (Viral) - requested by swampgirl.

Yep, fake, but entertaining.

EDIT: Whoops, old link.

Should be *parody too.

Invocations (parody) cannot be called by nibiyabi because nibiyabi is not privileged - sorry.

I guess the Attenborough version was so unbelievable, it was easy to fall for the radio sounds. Sorry, guys.

upvote for anything that gives the Lyrebird more cred.
BUT

A) It's not a Central Australian bird, it's found around the coasts, we have them here down in ol' southern victoria (south east tip of mainland Australia).
b) The other video which has the actual David Attenborough version labels it as a jungle bird. We don't have jungles in Australia, it's a bush bird thankyou very much.

Humph.

Can it do N.W.A.?
