Welcome to a special week of Wild Facts!\u00a0 Why is it special?\u00a0 Well, I am in Vancouver all week so this means we get to have another exciting Themed Week of Wild Facts.\u00a0 This week we look at the actors and actresses of the animal kingdom.\u00a0 That’s right, even animals like to act and we will discover 5 animals that rely heavily on imitation to survive.\u00a0 We are going to get the week started with an unique bird from Australia called the Lyrebird.\u00a0\u00a0 Do you remember that guy, “Jonsey” from the Police Academy movies?\u00a0 You know the one that could make all kinds of cool sounds?\u00a0 Well, the Lyrebird is the “Jonesy” of the animal world.<\/p>\n

The Lyrebird is well known across Australia and perhaps this is a result of their uncanny mimicking ability. Before we get into that, let’s take a closer look at this bird.\u00a0 Like many other birds, the Lyrebird feeds on insects, worms, spiders and will occasionally throw in the odd seed.\u00a0 If you ever see one of these birds scratching their feet through the leaf litter than you know they are looking for a yummy treat.\u00a0 Unlike most birds though, the Lyrebird is not a very impressive flier.\u00a0 As a result, if threatened they will actually attempt to run away from their predator instead of taking to the air.\u00a0 What’s the point of being a bird if you can’t really fly?<\/p>\n

You can tell from the photos that the Lyrebird is a gorgeous bird with impressive tail feathers.\u00a0 Obviously these tail feathers come into play when the male is trying to attract a pretty, little mate.\u00a0 In fact, the male will throw an all out concert with dancing and singing just to get the attention of their potential mate.\u00a0 This is where the imitation comes into play.\u00a0 You see the Lyrebird is an incredible imitator and will mimic all of the sounds he hears around him to try and impress his lady friend.\u00a0 Everything from other birds to chainsaws.\u00a0 I honestly think they would give “Jonsey” a run for his money as the best imitator.<\/p>\n

Lyrebird Fast Fact – <\/strong>Remember how I said these birds preferred not to fly? Oddly enough, firefighters that were seeking refuge in a mineshaft during a bushfire were actually joined by numerous Lyrebirds.\u00a0 Again, why wouldn’t you just fly away?<\/p>\n

Before you leave Wild Facts, you have to check out the video below.\u00a0 I guarantee you will not be disappointed.\u00a0 It is absolutely amazing the sounds this bird can create.\u00a0 Check it out and enjoy the rest of your day.<\/p>\n
