A closer look at the superb lyrebird! Contrary to popular belief, the lyrebird isn’t named for its mimicking abilities (think “LIAR bird!”) it’s all about the tail. The long, striped feathers on either side, called lyrates, are shaped like a lyre, an ancient wooden instrument over 4,000 years old. Superb lyrebirds have been around in Australia for over ten million years, we reckon the lyre should really be named after them! 📷: Kate Hicks, Birds & Primates Keeper (Part of our Keeper Takeover!) |
