If you’re not Australian you’d be wondering what this weird display was. We Victorians know it’s a male Lyrebird, trying to attract a mate. Sadly, photos don’t carry sound - his repertoire of other birds’ calls was impressive - and included a chainsaw!

@gpnaturephotos@aus.social I’ve seen them scurrying around like brown chooks in the bush, but this magic.

@gpnaturephotos@aus.social I get lyre birds in my yard, but have never been lucky enough to see a male displaying like that here. Great shot.

What a wonderful photo @gpnaturephotos@aus.social ! I've never seen one, but heard "cars" and "chain saws" in areas where I should've been the only human for miles and miles.
