Chook the Lyrebird


(YouTube link)

You might recall Sir David Attenborough introducing us to the lyrebird, a master of mimcry (and later the wonderful remix). Chook the lyrebird lives at the Adelaide Zoo. After a period of construction at the zoo, Chook was able to recreate the sounds of hammers, saws, and power tools exactly. Link -via Arbroath

Reminds me of when I lived in Phoenix. I'd regularly hear birds that could imitate car alarms. Not just the sound of the alarm, but the entire sequence the alarm goes through, in appropriate order.

@required - that's right. Presumably they don't want one. Nor do I. And it's their money, they can waste it however they choose. No matter how any of us spend our money there will always be those who think we are wasting it.

Another block of witlessness in our civilisation's great pyramid of Stupid. Please, neatorama, spare us such displays of vulgar, post-modern "irony".

Fucking CONSUMERS.

I preferred the video of the visually impaired 100 year old woman using the device to read books and write again for the fist time in years.

No chance of these two mudlarks reading a book, I'll warrant.

Why do you assume they're knowledge-less punks? You see one clip of a video and that's all you assume. These guys have more mastery of physics (skateboarding) and engineering (building) than anyone you probably meet on the street.

(in case you don't realize, they built that skate ramp themselves, which requires more than just having a hammer and nails)

Wow, this video is a slap in the face to every starving person living in this world. Not only was it a waste of money, it wasn't even remotely interesting.

Looking forward to the Frisbee Iphone and Surfing G5 videos bro!
