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!
