Lyrebirds are so cool! They build up their repertoire not only by mimicking the other birds and animals around them, but also by imitating other lyrebirds, which means that one bird’s mimicry can be passed down through generations.

For example, lyrebirds were introduced into Tasmania from Victoria in the mid-1930s. Thirty years later, lyrebirds on the island could still be heard mimicking eastern whipbirds, which are only found on the mainland.

Also, and this is my favourite, there are the flute lyrebirds. The story goes that, way back in the 1920s, a New South Wales family kept a young lyrebird as a pet. One member of the household played the flute, and the bird learned to mimic the sounds of the instrument. After it was released back into the wild, it passed on those calls to all the other local lyrebirds, whose descendants have been recorded mimicking flute melodies as recently as a few years ago.
