A lyrebird has been caught mimicking the ‘evacuate now’ siren at Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
The native Australian bird has the ability to accurately mimic almost any sound it hears, with an evacuation triggered less than two weeks ago when lions escaped from their enclosure. #9News

Found an interesting bird on my walk into campus. Is this a bluebonnet ? It was hanging out with a flock of red-rumped parrots.
