Show Notes
Sir David Attenborough says the superb lyrebird has one of "the most elaborate, the most complex, the most beautiful song[s] in the world." In this episode we explore the incredible ability these creatures have to mimic sounds in their environment, ranging from predators and possums to squeaky trees and songbirds they compete with for forest habitat. Ornithologist Anastasia Dalziell joins us to discuss her trailblazing work with lyrebirds, and she plays amazing recordings of these spellbinding songsters.
