Superb Lyrebird
The Life of Birds is a must see series for the footage in episode 6 of the Superb Lyrebird alone. This piece of film was voted the British public's favourite moment from a David Attenborough series which, considering David's long and memorable career, is a huge recommendation.The footage of the Superb Lyrebird shows it mimicking perfectly the sound of a camera shutter and the camera's motor drive, a car alarm and most incredibly the sound of a chainsaw and splintering trees.
Whether you are a birdwatcher or not this sight and sound is something unforgettable - many of my non-birding friends have watched it and were quite amazed.

Other Highlights of the Life of Birds
One of my favourite moments from the Life of Birds is the incredible Bowerbird "temple" which resembles a cave woven from straw, containing an altar and piles of pink flowers and beetle wings as decoration to attract a mate - quite wonderful!

- Bird watching is the second largest hobby in America, second only to gardening. I love to garden but I would rather just sit and watch the birds.
