We watched The Life of Birds last night; the "Songs and Signals" episode. The final bird they featured was shown mimicking the sound of a camera shutter, with and without the motorized film winding. It also was able to sound identically like a chainsaw from lumberjacks it had previously heard.
There have been a lot of very cool things in the series thus far, but the fidelity of the impressions done by that bird knocked all of our socks off. It was fun to see the boys so enthused and amused by that remarkable bird.

Yeah the girls and I watched every one of those episodes too. Truly some amazing things in there.
We also watched a series called the life of mammals (I think) and the bat episode stands out in my mind as being profound.
Big shout out for netflix streaming.
Jame! You ought to put the link in the Post so the reader can readily find this amazing sound track (and accompanying video) of this Lyre bird doing his romantic song and dance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y
