Lyrebird

Lyrebird

Lyrebirds are forest birds represented by the superb and Albert's lyrebirds. They spend much of their time walking through leaf litter and scratching for food rather than flying between high branches. Males combine song, imitation and tail displays at courtship sites, with details differing between species. Their imitations can reproduce other birds and some surrounding sounds. The familiar lyre-shaped tail image describes the superb lyrebird male more closely than every lyrebird.
