Lyrebird is one of the most unique birds in the whole world. The most attractive part of this bird is its tail. This amazing Lyrebird can be found in Australia. Lyrebirds are very good-natured birds and they are usually very shy in nature. You can't see these timid birds very often, because rarely come in front of human surroundings. Most of the time the Lyrebirds stay in the forests, away from the human crowds. Though shy, these Lyrebirds are also very energetic and jump all the time in the branches of the trees and in the rocks.

The Lyrebirds do not fly very much. They mostly walk and run. You can see these Lyrebirds flying rarely. At night, they generally take rest in the low branches of the trees. Another very interesting fact about these Lyrebirds is that they can imitate sounds very easily. Sounds like barking of dogs, car sounds etc they can imitate in no time. This mimicry of sound can be heard any time of the year. The Lyrebirds eat various types of insects, worms, spiders, seeds of various fruits and many other things.

The tail of the male Lyrebirds is very beautiful. When they spread it fully, it looks like a Lyre. Lyre is a musical instrument. It has much similarity with the harp. There are two large feathers, white and brown and they look like the frame of the harp and the rest part seems to be the strings of the instrument. That is why the bird is named Lyrebird.
