I liked that bird! We listened to one of the clips a couple of years ago. =A0 If you listen, the bird goes into speech in several sections. Last time it = was around, I challanged anyone who could to decode the bird's speech, but = no one else did. I contacted some folks in Australia about Lyrebirds. Inter= esting, there is a clip with Attenborough telling about the bird, and the L= yrebird appears to repeat his speech spontaneously---a very curious thing. = Birds can learn a sound with a single hearing. Parrots learn words with one= hearing, and occasionally learn the meaning on a single pass too. =A0 Mike Florida www.ParrotSpeech.com =A0 =A0 Re: Lyrebird imitating construction at Adelaide Zoo...
