@The Red-Eyed Baron kind of, the UK accents that a lot of Americans tend to lock onto are either the posh accents, cockney accents, or Scottish accents, all of which seem to show up the most in hollywood movies (it's hard for me to think of a movie by an American studio that contains any other UK accents besides those 3). Whilst anyone who has lived in Britain long enough will tell you that there's lots of different accents in the UK besides those 3. the main ones I can think of are Brummy, Geordie, Yorkshire, Westcountry (I might be Devon born and bred but all the Westcountry accents just sound the same to me), and Welsh. I suspect the reason these accents are often avoided is because they're the hardest to understand for anyone who hasn't lived in the UK long enough.

Filmed at Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary - a popular tourist destination around a 90 minute drive to the north-east of central Melbourne. There are many interesting places, of which to visit, in and around the township of Healesville which is in the foothills of Australia's Great Dividing Range. There are many cultural, artistic, historic, natural, infrastructural, etc., etc., things to see. To get there, you'll even have to drive through parts of the world famous Yarra Valley wine growing district. What a terrible thing to have to do. There's even a daily regular bus/coach service from Melbourne city central. One could do much, much worse than take a day (or three) to visit the region and its delights. Oh . . . , and there's a population of lyrebirds permanently residing at the sanctuary, so yes he (and his relatives) will still be there.

He's racking up those points! Someone should play him the Star Wars Saga! I bet he'd make all kinds of cool sounds, like R2D2, or the light saber. It'd be like C3PO retelling the story to the Ewoks.

What s beauty display ,you were honoured. Truly loved that
Wow, I've had hundreds of lyrebird interactions but none like this one.
It's trying to seduce you xD
Lucky! I don't know much about them, other than they live in Australia....so do you have to go far into the wild to find one, or are these guys running around rural areas? I'm so jealous of you....:)
What a marvellous experience for this man.
At first it sounded like an old fashioned manual type writer! They haven't been in common use since the 70's, though.
What a story to tell all his mates back at the local. "I went to Australia and this beautiful bird tried to pick me up."
Bird: "Get of my bench or I'll shoot!" "Pew pew pew pew!"
I was waiting for someone to comment that haha.
hahahahaha
🤣
cutest comment ever ...
😂😂
That bird was shooting him up with the lazer blaster.
don't come to australian forest tomorrow
I thought a video game at first. But I think he's heard a starter trying to turn over an engine. The engine won't fire. The popping at the front of his imitation sounds like an old typewriter before the eclectic model was invented.
jack off Eclectic? I think you mean electric, but eclectic is funnier.
@@jackoff4850 is one of cheap toy laser blasters my son has one of them and they all make the same sound. I would totally see my kid pretending to be blasting at the bird.
this is how they chase off human from their territory.
"Can't believe how close he's getting!" Oh, if you only knew how close he WANTED to get.
I notice in every video none of the lyre birds are afraid of people. They come right up to them
@@anthonydesroches785 smart birds. They tryna breed with the dominant species.
💀
@@dr.inkwell1070 furry artists: write that down, write that down!
LOL
I hope these birds never become extinct. They are just amazing
They’re very common where I’m from so i imagine there’s nothing to worry about
Everything will be extinct eventually what u even on about
@@presidentofallfoodnice8113 Sharks: Are you sure about that?
@@himanbam yes. Even sharks.
@@presidentofallfoodnice8113 well considering that they’ve outlived almost everything there’s a chance they won’t.
The forest in Australia sounds like a toy mall in Japan.
LOL, haven’t been to Japan but I’ll take your word for it.
Bush. Not forest.
This is a captive bird... They mimic the sounds they are used to hearing. A lyrebird making car and chainsaw sounds is the saddest thing. Many of the sounds this one is making are from other Australian birds :)
😂
Yeh. Great for a bbq with all the birds in the background. That location is Healsville Sanctury. Google it, about one hour drive from CBD.
I'm pretty sure he quoted R2-D2 at one point.
Yeah, and C3PO said, “This is MADNESS.” Lol.
He did too!!
Ikr lol
Watching the movie and ya pretty sure it was. To on pitch to doubt it.
He seems like a sweet and gentle man. The bird was responding to his soul.
The bird was really trying to say “lemme smash.” Heard they are married now
How sweet is this man thanking this bird for his dance and song? Adorable.
U know that's the lyre bird love dance
Oh you are beautiful :)
when? I missed it.
@@Dreamskater100 around 2:46 🙃
Ya
I heard that the lyrebird and his man-wife now bought a house together. Good luck to the newlyweds.
lol!! man-wife
Rembrandt Van Gogh DEAD
Hahaha 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bien trouvé !!! 👍 😄 😅
Lmaooo 😂😂
You're extremely lucky to have such a close encounter with a Lyrebird. Thanks for recording it.
Yes that was an absolutely amazing experience.
Englishman: Hey there! *lazer gun noises intensify*
😂😂😂👍
I can just picture this bird now thanking people with a British accent. I once heard a newborn baby cry and thought someone had left it in the rainforest, it was a Lyrebird and they are brilliant.
They sound exactly like a crying baby it's uncanny
There is no “British accent”😉
its so adorable how he turns to the bird and says "Thank you, that was lovely."
He’s reloading way too often
@Chethan SOZA me, who is too used to using tediore reloads in Borderlands 2: uhhhhhhh yeah I hate those guys
@@staeslait2343 best game change my mind
0 Reload speed 🤣🤣
It's a 3-4 shot magazine
This is more honest than the movie character that never reloads their firearms in battle.
He did a lot of calls then, here’s what I recognised, magpie, black cockatoo, chough, apostle bird, currawong, bell bird, kookaburra, king parrot and there’s more. It’s be great to get someone who knows bird calls to listen to it. I’ll have to read some more of the comments. Awesome. These are super shy birds. Must have been hand reared. Lovely to see
Yes. Generally one look and they take off. Definitely been at least fed by humans.
The bird is in a sanctuary, a captive bird. I track and video 7 wild birds in Dorrigo National Park which are tame enough to get close to when performing in the forest. Videos can be seen here at LYREBIRD DIARIES. I have had birds as close as this and two of the males often perform at me, I don't know why.
Canadian here. Thanks for listing the species. I don't know Australian bird songs, but I know a kookaburra when I hear one....or thought I did.
Thought i heard R2D2 in there!
Think I heard butcher bird
he attacks you man :D *pew pew pew* 😂❤
When he started to pew pew at the man I thought the same... He is trying to shoot him XD
Hahahanso cute
Bro youve been shot like over 100 times by a lazer gun. He wins this round.

What a dear, lovely man Alan seems to be. Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm charmed by the bird, but more so by Alan. Love from a 75 year old lady in San Diego, California.
Ginny Lorenz that is very kind of you
sis tryna get some
Hey I live in SD too!
I live in a forest 20 miles east of Melbourne and they occasionally stroll through my garden. They're amazing and delightful animals; maybe best mimics of all creatures.
When l lived in mountains of Victoria, Australia l even heard them imitating a motorbike ranging through the gears. They’re amazing birds.
Finally I know what noise hes mimicking. I was fencing a field today and when you drive the staples in the post it makes that exact noise on the tight hi tensile wires strung between the posts. Its bugged me for ages that I couldn’t place that sound
Now you say that, I can hear it. They have that high pitched kind of ring. I can’t even describe the noise but this bird can mimic it perfectly lol.
Finally. I just watched this and was experiencing exactly what you said where you couldnt place it and I was like SOMEONE must know the sound and wrote in comments. Otherwise I wouldve assumed it was a laser sound or something
Here I thought it was a toy lazer gun
That's it! Good call!
I believe it! My mom has a mockingbird in her yard that mimicked cats and a ringing telephone.
It's the sound of an SLR camera that Lyrebird is mimicking. And it's not a digital one, it's an old one with a film roll. The sound is composed of two sounds. The first one is when the shutter opens and closes, the other one is when the film is wound forward. Amazing!
Thanks! I wondered;)
An auto film advance doesn't have the sharp frequency decay of this sound the lyre bird is making. I find the other explanation in the comments of stapling a wire fence more likely
Spot on. That's a lot of photos that happening when he does his lyrebird thing with his wings which is the reason he combines those sounds with his posing
He should feel soooo special to experience this…one in a billion…😁💪🏼👏🏼🙏🏼👋🥰💁🏼♀️
Lol that guy looked like he just had the most amazing experience of his life
Yes he did. He was hit on by a male bird
I think I would react like that too. That was lovely
Why lol - it would be an absolutely amazing experience. The bird was so close, he could have touched it.
The bird is blasting him with his alien space gun.
Ladies, this is what maximum male performance looks/sounds like.
He dose not know how lucky he is. Thanks for the video
That guy is amazing with animals. You could see the level of trust and communication between them both. Quite amazing to watch
he thought he was simon cowell
Dan Dan 😹😹😹
more like Australia Got Talent.
Suddenly with full of surprise HE PUSHED THE GOLDEN BUZZER, tears in the eyes everyone.
That's our magnificent Lyrebird 🎶🎵🎶🎵💚🐾🇦🇺
That is one AMAZING bird australia. Love from MN, USA
he's shooting at you with lasers.
lucky experience. you got a front row seat to an amazing display.
You were unimaginably lucky to experience this!
Gees your lucky to get a show like that. It’s the most beautiful sounding songbird in the world.
S O it certainly is!
Julie Bennett can I ask where it was. I stay in Brisbane and the bird is found around the forest here. But many people spend a lifetime watching this bird and never get a display like that.
S O it was at Healesville Sanctuary, about an hour outside Melbourne. We were very lucky.
Love it how this man interacts with the bird and thanks for the display. Such a good energy!
Australia’s Lyrebird. Just an amazing array of bird calls. The Australian bush is magical.
I love the postluding here...! It is Lovely that Alan just sits and lets himself be serenaded.
I'm just waiting for someone to make a 'We are number one but it's sung by a Lyrebird' video.
Exactly
Yes please
Wind2048 great idea
Wouldn't it be the exact same audio?
icefeatherartist Haha! True!
Adorable. The most amazing birb of all.
I'm a Aussie and you can count yourself one lucky Englishman. I'd love to experience that. We are blessed with this great bird and other types of incredible bird in our country.
Indeed. I seen / heard them live in the wild, but never up that close.
Awesome! The bird is courting the tourist! He's soooo lucky!!
He's such a fucking flirt!
So much for being a shy bird 😂 This handsome lad has some skills to flaunt and the Englishman is an appreciative audience
Wait a minute, if lyrebirds imitate things they've heard before... That bird has been in a gunfight.
No he has heard fencing being installed. Not everything is american
@@sugarnads its called j o k e Theses birds are *pissing me off* I'm the original starwalker
Wow, what a wonderful experience. You're a very lucky man. Incredible bird ❤
It is wonderful to see this on here as well.
That was a mating dance? 😳🤭♥️
the guys face is just precious haha :D
That's magical. I think he's in love with you....well, why wouldn't he be, you promised him maggots. ☺️
Amen!
I was walking with my family and heard one of these birds, I thought it was somebody in distress only to realise it was a lyrebird, cute little things they are.
Man I keep coming back to this video. They regard this bird as the best song bird of all time. To get a display like that is a once in a life time.
I understand the bird better than the english guy.
steve jaubert I was delighted by an English I can unterstand! 👍😄
steve jaubert Some times it seems that the "English" that's spoken by some folks in England is a different language that the version we speak in the USA. But then again, I can't always understand English spoken by certain people in America, such as Cajun folks(or people from Brooklyn)! Lol
It isn't the easiest language to master, but your written word is good. Carry on with English lessons, it's a language that will take you far.
@The Red-Eyed Baron kind of, the UK accents that a lot of Americans tend to lock onto are either the posh accents, cockney accents, or Scottish accents, all of which seem to show up the most in hollywood movies (it's hard for me to think of a movie by an American studio that contains any other UK accents besides those 3). Whilst anyone who has lived in Britain long enough will tell you that there's lots of different accents in the UK besides those 3. the main ones I can think of are Brummy, Geordie, Yorkshire, Westcountry (I might be Devon born and bred but all the Westcountry accents just sound the same to me), and Welsh. I suspect the reason these accents are often avoided is because they're the hardest to understand for anyone who hasn't lived in the UK long enough.
We dumb it down down here in the south cause everybody thanks it’s “kewt”. Is awlright wid us! Lol
What an astonishing, astounding, outstanding bird! 💟
❤what a fantastic opportunity to hear this wonderful bird I think I would be flattered to hear him sing like that! To me!
Ces oiseaux sont une vraie merveille. C'est une très belle découverte.
Lyrebirds spitting out words like a machine gun
How beautiful is this bird. Has made my day. Thanks for posting.
Savvy thank you
A lot of people can make laser sounds, but none like a lyrebird
Remarkable- it's tamer than a Holland Park peacock. Lucky Alan.
I think of all the possibilities of sound and that birds ability to just tap into all of that and make all those noises that are unique and have a special hook to them. More than anything it makes me think of sound as wave energy and how we are so susceptible to it to degrees we can't even imagine.
So many of those bird calls I hear every single day and yet, there's no lyre birds where I live. They have got to be the cleverest birds in existence. They can copy almost anything. Best thing, they're probably the only Australian critter that doesn't want to kill you.... if you don't count laser guns that is
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS.
Alan is a good listener in real life I bet. The lyre bird is typing him a letter saying as much. Thank you Alan for being a good listener.
You don't get these anywhere else in the world but Australia.
Its not a competition.
Don't make it a competition
I wasn't.
@ Collin dion...it should be "there are many...." not "they're"....idiot!
he said you only find this particular bird in Australia
How beautiful. What a lucky man.
Wow, lucky guy. That was amazing
When I was little I thought they were called Liar Birds, because they were always pretending to be something they’re not..we would listen out for them in the bush, but they were hard to find. You are so lucky to have had your own private concert.
Omg, how entertaining was that. I knew Lyrebirds are fun and all that, but wow what a performance.
How lucky is he. I used to live beside Sherbrooke Forest in Belgrave. Heard them regularly, saw a few hens but never a fine fellow like that. So close….amazing.
That bird is Beautiful..
What an honour to be wooed in the lyrebirds mating dance
The Lyre bird doesn't actually have its own song. Every single sound it makes is a copy of another bird or sound it hears. There are still plenty of them in Victoria Australia, particularly in the Dandenong ranges outside Melbourne. It is an amazing creature that's for sure.
This isn’t true at all, they have several songs of their own, simple research will make that quite clear, don’t spread misinformation
@@willkershisnik5893 bit harsh mate, never hurts to be tactful when reproving someone. Have an awesome day.
It's so beautiful in your neck of the woods. ☺
@@marinaholmes4549 .. That's not harsh at all, the man is telling it how it is Wtf? Ha!!! :P] .v ..
So beautiful! Look at that tail and those feathers! I'd love to see one of these birds IRL.
So lovely, what a treat and what a privilege, one very lucky man. Thank you for sharing. God Bless 🙏🏻❤️
Omg how beautiful was that
You’re right that the lyrebird is interested in Alan - this is a courtship ritual. The bird has displayed his tail feathers and serenaded you with as many different “songs” as he can. I’d love to know where this was filmed and if this bird is still there. He’s very vocal!
Hi @josieau this was filmed at healesville sanctuary, Melbourne
@@joollee - Thanks!
Filmed at Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary - a popular tourist destination around a 90 minute drive to the north-east of central Melbourne. There are many interesting places, of which to visit, in and around the township of Healesville which is in the foothills of Australia's Great Dividing Range. There are many cultural, artistic, historic, natural, infrastructural, etc., etc., things to see. To get there, you'll even have to drive through parts of the world famous Yarra Valley wine growing district. What a terrible thing to have to do. There's even a daily regular bus/coach service from Melbourne city central. One could do much, much worse than take a day (or three) to visit the region and its delights. Oh . . . , and there's a population of lyrebirds permanently residing at the sanctuary, so yes he (and his relatives) will still be there.
I could play with this bird ALL day long and Never get board! lol....he is SOOOOO COOL!
That bird has surely watched Star Wars !! Shooting laser blasters 🤩
They seem really fond of the laser shooting sound effect
Sounds like a fucking electronic toy.
RPKVids that bird try to shoot him
They can imitate ANYTHING!
Normally so very shy in the wild! :D
RPKVids well.its not
Actually, it IS the sound of a toy gun.
Incredible! I don’t know if you realised it but after the kookaburra call which you correctly identified the lyrebird also performed the magpie, the currawong, the whipbird and the Willy wagtail bird calls and probably more. What a show off!
Wow! I got the Kookaburra, but I had no idea he was imitating other birds!
It’s the English accent: irrestible! Camera shutter noises, too? Better than hearing it imitate chainsaws. Then R2D2 😂. So lovely to hear how much he appreciated the display 🥰
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for posting this awesome video. 😊❤️
wanderingelkless thank you!
Oh, he's singing this man all his best songs!
Fantastic ... absolutely amazing sounds! And "he" obviously is very comfortable with Alan so close!
I am a Australian, these birds are magnificent, they have mastered the sounds of all our native birds, Some how I think it was demanding its bench back
Well, I'm just a Brit, so I don't know much about the Lyrebird, but I was thinking the same.....like he was trying to show off, that he was better than poor old Alan! Lol
Am 49 years old and have never even heard of this bird before. What an amazing creature.Australia has some very wacky animals and i love them all🙂
And the cutest are the quokkas on Rottnest Island 🥰
@@margaretboehm4485 i shall get there soon hopefully Margaret. Am just laying a few more bricks in a lovely frosty U.K to fund my next trip. Thanks for all of your great work👍
You must come to Kangaroo Island to see the dropbears 😉😆
When I was younger that was a dream of mine to go to Australia. I always thought it would be awesome.
Such a sweet interaction... Its obvious the bird was challenging the man yet it must have found he was no threat. Looks like the bird also wanted 2 make a new friend - with all the tremendously weird wonderful sh*t that happens on Mother Earth she's such an amazing n beautiful planet no? ; )
I liked the way your cousin thanked him! Very nice exchange.
Incredible vocals - almost nothing that he can't copy
You should hear them do a chainsaw.
That. Man. Was. So. Blessed. To. Be. As. Near. As. He. Was. Amazing. Birds.
That bird is reminding this guy of their last video game battle...and the bird won.
Lyre bird:" i know you like these laser beams, i know you do!'
I love how cool the man is handling this
Peacock ain't got NOTHIN on Lyrebird! Beautiful plumage AND mimicry? Awesome.😁
