Dont know about the Eden bird
But the bird in Adelaide I have on my video- so you can see
if you want.
It even does the chainsaw 'chuck' ing to get
started.

Are these people familiar with that the SL has its
own wide variety of territorial calls, some of these are of a whizzing
sound that is a bit like a chainsaw but is not mimicry at all. It would be
nicely tempting to say (in the context of a demonstration about Eden
woodchipping) that the lyrebirds are now imitating chainsaws!
