Lyrebirds mimicking chainsaws: fact or lie?

[Chris Sanderson <>]

Hmm, well I have personally observed a Superb Lyrebird mimicking a chainsaw in Tasmania - a feral population but still a bird in the wild.  It was right next to a cleared and burned area of forest that had probably been logged in the past few weeks.

Cheers,

Chris
