- marklacey 6y agoYes that’s one thing this bird would do. The whole cycle of two or three repetitive sounds from an alarm before moving to another song.

- NamTaf 6y agoThe Lyrebird from Australia is probably the best at this. It can imitate just about anything - car alarms, other birdsongs, camera shutters, gunshots, etc. etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSB71jNq-yQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSB71jNq-yQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrebird#Vocalizations_and_mimicry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrebird#Vocalizations_and_mim...
