lyrics

What bird has the most elaborate
The most complex
The most beautiful song in the world?
Well I guess there are lots of contenders
This bird must be one of them
The superb lyre bird
From South Australia

He clears a space in the forest
To serve as his concert platform

To persuade females to come close and admire his plumes
He sings the most complex song he can manage
And he does that by copying the songs of all the other birds he hears around him
Such as the kookaburra

It's a very convincing impersonation

Even the original is fooled

He can imitate the calls of at least 20 different species

He also, in his attempt to out-sing his rivals, Incorporates other sounds that he hears in the forest

That was a camera shutter

And again

And now a camera with a motor drive

And that's a car alarm

And now the sounds of foresters and their chainsaws working nearby
