Mike,

The lyrebird says its own name 'Chook Chook' (in the voice of its
keeper) rather than Chop Chop. For some reason, and annoyingly, I
can't download the full video clip, even with satellite connection.
I think the lyrebird also says 'Good Boy' or similar. The word Chook
is of course Aussie slang for a full grown chicken. There's
Blackbird mimicry near the end. And of course drills, hammering,
chainsaws etc.

Mimicry from Chook featured on one of our recent members' CDs for the
Australian Wildlife Sound Recording Group.
