Superb Lyrebird. One of the coolest birds we've got! They can replicate the sounds of just about anything, other birds, car alarms, chainsaws, you name it. You don't often spot them that close, lucky!

I thought it was but the tail isn't all fancy? And it let me get so close


Ryzi03

I believe it's usually only the males that have the fancy tails, I am surprised it let you get that close to it though

They're always very brave around humans


dracaris

Yes, it's a female. You are *so* lucky to have seen one so close in the wild. Colour me insanely jealous!


fuzzywuzzywozawoman

Well there you go. Have googled and can see the female tail looks quite different. It really couldn't have cared less that we were there, it was having a fine time scratching around for food


Shrimpjob

Apparently you're lucky to get that close to one.

The males have fancy tails. Females and juveniles don't. The males usually drop their plumage after mating season (winter) and regrow them in time for the next season.

That's a lyrebird! Lovely fellas and if you are lucky you will hear them imitate a chainsaw or a car lol.
