When do lyrebirds grow their tails?
Young male superb lyrebirds do not grow their lyre tails until they are three or four years old. Until this time, they usually group together and are known as ‘plain-tails’. The Albert’s lyrebird is similar in appearance to the superb lyrebird, but is smaller and darker, with a rich chestnut colour.
What does a superb lyrebird look like?
The male superb lyrebird is 80-100 centimetres long, including his 55-centimetre-long tail. He is dark brown on the upper part of his body and lighter brown below, with red-brown markings on his throat. His tail feathers are dark brown above and silver-grey below.
What sounds do lyrebirds make?
Lyrebirds are capable of imitating almost any sound. As well as their own calls, clicks and song, you will usually hear them mimicking loud clear sounds made by other birds and mammals – including humans. They have been heard to mimic the sounds of chainsaws, horns, alarms and even trains.
