David Attenborough will turn 80 today and after a nationwide vote, the
British public decided the following footage of the Superb Lyrebird was tops.
Check out the original video, from the Life of Birds, at
_http://img.dailymail.co.uk/video/384Kbps.wmv_ (http://img.dailymail.co.uk/video/384Kbps.wmv) . An
Australian species, the Superb Lyrebird has one of the most complex songs of
any bird, a repertoire augmented by it's skill of mimicry (from sources both
avian and non!).


Any bird that mimics a chainsaw to court a female really shouldn't be missed.
