If you’re not Australian you’d be wondering what this weird display was. We Victorians know it’s a male Lyrebird, trying to attract a mate. Sadly, photos don’t carry sound - his repertoire of other birds’ calls was impressive - and included a chainsaw!

@adamantichrist @offelia Think that might be Nova, transferred from Healesville after his mate Reefton died.
