The Amazing Lyrebird of Australia - Revisited!

Are there no limits to what these amazing birds can imitate? A few years ago I lived in Normandy, Texas and I always kept my office doors and window opened to catch the breezes. There were usually a few boat-tailed grackles in the ash tree canopy just outside. One day I heard the distinct sound of my internet modem dialing in to connect. The chirps and buzzing, the line static. I checked my computer and it was powered down. Then I heard it again. It seemed to come from just outside so I walked out and there sat a grackle, happily imitating my modem sounds! Birds are amazing creatures and never cease to amaze me.
The following link was sent to me by a dear friend. Thank you Lynn! =)
