Music in Nature: The Lyre Bird

The lyre bird is one of the coolest sound phenomenons in nature. A native species in Australia, they are the musical equivalent of a chameleon: That is, they can mimic the sounds of birds, other animals, and human machinery! This includes dogs barking, human voices, chainsaws, car alarms, and human instruments.

A natural synthesizer!
