I've also observed them do motor and mechanical sounds in Kangaroo Valley years ago, when I lived there.

They are also the only bird I've successfully attracted with one of those little red Audubon Bird callers.

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
