The superb lyrebird is endemic to southeastern Australia.

During courtship displays, the male inverts his tail over his head, fanning his feathers to form a silvery white canopy to impress females. 

The superb lyrebird is most famously known for its extraordinary ability to accurately mimic a huge variety of sounds, including twenty different bird species’ calls, car alarms, chainsaws and various camera shutters.
