Lyrebird in Brisbane - surely not!!

[david taylor <>]

I was at a particularly lush and forested part of Fig Tree Pocket ( a suburb of 
Brisbane)  today and was assured by someone that they had just seen a Lyrebird 
foraging in the dense growth near the road!  My response was to say they arent 
found in Brisbane but was assured that the bird was brown, had a long brushy 
like erect tail and was definetely not a brush-turkey which the person was very 
familiar with  - for a short moment I thought -" could this be possible!....... 
 What else could it be I thought!   ...... thinking, thinking .........and then 
it appeared    ..........   A Peafowl - apparently around the area from the 
nearby Koala Park!

Certainly no Albert's Lyrebird.......but I had a quiet chuckle about it!
