Most favorite Attenborough Moment: On occasion of Sir David Attenborough's 80th birthday, people were asked to vote on their favorite Attenborough moment. His encounter with the Lyrebird took the top spot for its uncanny ability to mimic sounds. The clip showed the bird imitating sounds of the camera shutter and the lens motor apart from imitating the sounds of other birds! posted by Amit at 6:08 AM Comment (1)

That's awesome! The camera shutter imitation is so uncanny that I wonder if it is doctored.
I also recommend this podcast which includes an interview with Prof David Rotheberg, the author of the book "Why Birds Sing". http://www.archive.org/download/groks168/Groks052505_vbr.mp3 -K Post a Comment
