CAN A BIRD REALLY IMITATE SOUNDS SO ACCURATELY THAT IT FOOLS PEOPLE LISTENING?
Deep in the Australian forest lives a bird with an extraordinary talent.
The Superb Lyrebird is famous for its remarkable ability to mimic the sounds around it. Other birds are part of its repertoire, but reports suggest its performances can sound far stranger than that. Senior Field Researcher Tom Bramble and the Institute team investigate the Extraordinary Mimic, exploring how and why lyrebirds copy sounds and what this remarkable behaviour tells us about animal communication.
Plus, there are also reports of another legendary bird that may rise from the ashes. And, the team revisits one of the strangest chapters in Australian history. The Great Emu War.
The episode encourages students to explore animal behaviour, adaptation, communication and mimicry, while asking an important Institute question: When you hear something in the natural world, can you always trust your ears?
