We watched this for fun in my psychology of learning class. It's an Australian bird called the lyrebird, and it imitates (perfectly) anything it hears. Truly amazing, and worth a watch. Turn your speakers on. It's oly 3:30 long.

It's male...shouldnt be that big of a surprise that it wants to get laid. (I'm totally kidding here btw)

And yes...it's awesome. The entire class was dying laughing at some of its impersonations.

That's cool, but kind of scary in some ways how even things we don't think about can affect the other creatures around us.
