Meet the lyrebird, world famous for their near-perfect imitations. This lyrebird resides at the Taronga Zoo, and has been around enough children to mimic crying with incredible accuracy 🤯 In the wild, when a lyrebird mother feels threatened she will often imitate the calls of larger avian predators to frighten or confuse, and draw the burglar away from the nest. Protecting the nest is a high-stakes game, and defenses are limited. Each year the female lays just one egg. This chick takes six week
