Ipod Bird?

[the_hound]

I just found out that this bird existed, and my mind has officially been blown! There are a couple video's out there with the lyrebird, but the 1st video I am posting has me still trying to figure out if it's actually real or not. Anybody seen or heard of these birds before?

[wooohooo]

The first one looked real until the end. I'm not so sure it can duplicate something like a CD, it was just a real good editing job and some promotional work for that band. But nevertheless, cool bird

[Bill Bumface]

I'm sure the first is fake, but the second seems real:

The lyrebird is capable of imitating almost any sound — from a mill whistle to a cross-cut saw, and, not uncommonly, sounds as diverse as chainsaws [2], car engines and car alarms, fire alarms, rifle-shots, camera shutters, dogs barking and crying babies.

To see the Lyrebirds is one of the main reasons I want to go to Australia. Them and the bower birds.

Yes, top one is faked when it gets to the radio samples, but the rest sounded pretty real. Attenborough does not lie.

really, a chain saw? thats unreal if its real. The first one is an obvious fake... remove it

Just as cool as the Lyrebird, but in a different way - the bower bird.

Should be called the OCD bird. And at the end of the day, its all about scoring with the chicks.

In all seriousness though, Very cool.

kermitology is going to jump in here and say, "It's iPod not Ipod". Just getting it out of the way.

The first video is a pretty cool promo piece for the band.

Seeing videos like this always reminds me of the Discovery Channel commercial.
