The superb lyrebird is a large Australian songbird that's capable of mimicking nearly anything it hears. In the wild, they mostly mimic other birds, and a single lyrebird can imitate an entire flock of another species. Captive lyrebirds, meanwhile, have been reported to mimic various noises, including car alarms, chainsaws, camera shutters, and flutes.

Some of the most amazing sounds it makes, however, are not mimicry at all. The male lyrebird's mating call includes a variety of clicks, thuds, and buzzes that sound mechanical to humans but are learned from its parents.
