Chook in memoriam

A short audio program from ABC featuring the amazing variety of sounds made by Chook the Lyrebird. The electric screwdriver and camera shutter noises are fantastic.

"The Australian lyrebird is a remarkable creature, able to mimick almost every man made and natural sound; sirens, car engines, other birds. Chook was very popular with visitors at the Adealaide Zoo until he died in 2011 at the age of 32. In this audio tribute to Chook we hear him mimick innumberable sounds."

Quite incredible! Makes things confusing in the bush when you hear things that are simply not there!
