What happens when you lock a mimic bird in a toystore - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn0Cn7CBezU[/media] The vocal range of this little mcnugget astounds me. [sp]Also at the end he sounds like he is about to overload and blowup[/sp]

[video=youtube;KOFy8QkNWWs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOFy8QkNWWs[/video] Lyrebirds are amazing.

even birds know the pew pew is awesome

It's like an enemy in a game that faces you and shoots lazers, but in real life.

It doesn't realise it has the scariest sound possible to ward off predators. Also the sound pattern sounds similar to this weird spinning electrical top thing I have had since I was a kid.

It even knows when it's shooting lasers that, that sound should be used for scaring off attackers. Raised it's tail up and looked right at the camera.

But can it imitate the bleeps, the sweeps and the creeps?

If it could imitate gunshots, would that be the ultimate predator ward?

I want a bird that makes laser noises.

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;46574858]If it could imitate gunshots, would that be the ultimate predator ward?[/QUOTE] if the sound can reach over 140 dB then yes They're scared of gunshots because it makes a loud noise, not because it's a gunshot.

Certain species of bear have learned to follow the sound of a rifle in order to steal dead deer from hunters.

JJ Abrahms needs to hire this bird to do sound effects in the next Star Wars movie.

That sad thing is, the bird most likely mimic'd a chainsaw starting up, not R2D2.

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;46574858]If it could imitate gunshots, would that be the ultimate predator ward?[/QUOTE] Teach one to do that then release it in a major american city :v:

When it turns to face the camera and starts firing lasers, it's actually terrifying. lol

50 seconds in, looked like a boss fight was about to start or some shit

Catch 200 or so of these, teach them to yell something or make a certain noise (you know, the usual stuff, heil hitler, cunt, etc), then release them into the wild to spread the sound like a fire. A few weeks time and the forests of Australia are a cacophony of insults, heils, and other stuff.

Someone should edit the video so that it shoots laser eyes every time it makes the noise.
