	Lyrebird
		Australian folklore is rich with tales of lyrebird mimicry: if the story of a male lyrebird that used to regularly halt 19th century logging operations by mimicing the fire siren is not true, a hundred others are.
		It is generally accepted that the lyrebird family is most closely related to the scrub-birds (Atrichornithidae[?]) and some authorities combine both in a single family, but evidence that they are also related to the bowerbirds[?] remains controversial.
		The Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) is found in areas of wet forest in Tasmania, and in the temperate rainforest[?] areas of Victoria and New South Wales.

	Nature Feature - Lyrebird
		Lyrebirds are usually seen singly, occasionally in pairs or small parties, inhabiting rugged forest country and brushes.
		Lyrebirds have several powerful calls of their own, the chief of which is a resounding 'choo-choo-choo'.
		The nest is a bulky structure, with an entrance at the side, composed outwardly of sticks, twigs, dried fern-leaves, and mosses, with an inner wall neatly made of wiry rootlets and bark-fibre lined with downy feathers from the flanks of the bird.

	Lyrebirds
		However, the range of the Albert's lyrebird is restricted to a small area of sub-tropical rainforest near the Queensland/New South Wales border.
		Due to its specialised habitat, the Albert's lyrebird is an endangered species and the clearing of rainforest would probably lead to the bird's extinction.
		Lyrebirds feed mainly on ground-dwelling insects, spiders, frogs, and other small invertebrates that they find by scratching among the leaf litter.

	Mimicry and cultural transmission in lyrebirds
		Male lyrebirds build platforms on the forest floor from which they perform their characteristic displays in which their filamentous tails are fanned and arched over their bodies while they produce their distinctive loud calls.
		All male Albert's lyrebirds within a population produce roughly the same sequence of mimicked sounds in their cyclical display song, but the sequence varies among populations.
		For example, mimicry of the songs of the satin bowerbird feature prominently in the lyrebird display, and the songs of this model species are known to vary among these populations.
