Lyre bird......have you ever seen or heard one ?

 







The Lyre bird is a nondescript, seldom seen,  rather small Australian ground bird whose tail, when extended resembles a 'lyre'.  The male builds a 'bower', which is a display area to attract a mate.

The bird has a range of beautiful songs and can imitate almost any sound, other birds, chainsaw, train whistle tractor, bird calls, kookaburra, etc.
