The way its head extends for the 'camera with a motor drive' sound just made me completely lose it

and that bit was REAL! Yep, if you look up the original piece, that really is the lyrebird doing that sound.

While editing wasn't anywhere near perfect, one's gotta love Sir David Attenborough in on it. Didn't expect that - nice one!

He's not in on it EDD. That's where the editing comes in.

Not impressed. I remember my first hand held cassette recorder. Much smaller than that bird yet could almost do as well recording sounds. O.K., it couldn't fly unless you threw it, so what?

Indeed. I feel like such a noob now. They mixed video over the audio track there masterfully, and one is actually more prone to notice the editing by turning sound off. Only then did I see the reverse action, etc. Weird they wouldn't have had more job done on the actual bird though.

You can see the original unadulterated footage in this sift: http://www.videosift.com/video/Lyrebird-Unbelievable-Jungle-Bird-Mimics-Bird-and-Human-Sounds

It's worth checking out, he does some amazing imitations not shown in this clip.
