David Attenborough
“In April 2006, to celebrate naturalist David Attenborough’s 80th birthday, the public were asked to vote on their favourite of his television moments. This clip of the lyrebird was voted number one. A Lyrebird is either of two species of ground-dwelling Australian birds, most notable for their extraordinary ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment.”

I played this for Steven and his friend… the initial camera sounds are amazing — is the rest of it real? I got the feeling they weren’t buying it… But I am a believer — funny how nature mimicing environment actually sounds a bit nicer, yes?

I had a similar experience… Nikole didn’t fully buy it either. Maybe a little more research is needed here.
I personally fully believed it… why would Mr. Attenborough lie to me.
