@akadray Yeah I can clearly hear it at 2:39 ! The McfuckingreedyDonalds Cronies felling trees for bigger cattleherdes, destroying our lifes basis just for the sake of some 10% of the wolrdpopulation overweighted morons stuffing yuckie burgers into themselves causing coloncancer for what their socila communities have to pay. Fock thee ADVERTISINGMAFIA, suggesting people to buy things nobody needs.

So that's how I should pick up women.

Wild David Attenborough appeared!

2:14 He steals my car !!!

It's kinda sad, that he imitates the sounds of camera shutters, preserving everything for eternity and for the eye, and chain saws, destroying everything, him, too, in the end..two of the three human sounds he knows...says a lot about our world and the perception of it, as seen through the ears of a bird..

I'm curious what the range of sounds is that these birds can imitate. That would be a fascinating effort.I wonder how long it takes them to pick up a new sound. 

Wow..must be the sounds we will hear in heaven..thanks for uploading.peace

I actually want to protect the rainforest now

that was a damn good chain saw sound. OO

The sound of the saw made me guilty :( it sounds pretty sad cuz they're havin their home cut down

Bird is spy!!

after drinking heavily, my farts sound like this.

Beardyman's let himself go a bit.

God created this bird so that people know that it is the only one capable of doing so

Beautiful Bird.

@junniquilent801 lol, it's australian

This is SUCH a cool bird !!! Amazing impersonator LOL Can't believe JAY LENO didn't have this bird on his show !!  Thanks for sending this Teye !

@HOMEnHIGH the chainsaw is not bullshit. I live in Australia and have seen Lyre Birds in the forest. They constantly mimick other noises, just anything that they hear - as demonstrated. There are many places here where rednecks deforest our countryside as quickly as they can. It would be very common for a Lyrebird to have heard a chainsaw. The cameraman may have taken more than a day to capture the bird performing like that.

Dude I like to see him do the Mario theme, now thats some action!

Who's That POKEMON?

@akadray ...im lovin it

cant help but think that the chain saw one was bullshit....maybe they are know to do it...but i feel he didnt perform on that day so a lil editing was called for.....
