Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #5455 Lyrebird 1
Instructions
Lyrebirds,  a  common  bird  in  rainforest  areas  of  Australia,  have  an  incredible  repertoire  of  sounds  that  they  are  able  to  mimic  from  their  environment,  including  over  20  other  bird  calls  as  well  as  sophisticated  mechanical  sounds.  They    to  replicate  the  sounds  of  chainsaws  and  pneumatic  drills.  The  male  lyrebird  sings  a  medley  of  mimicry  to  impress  females  -  and  the  more  detailed  and  varied  his  repertoire  is,  the  more  interesting  it  seems  to  potential  .  Like  females  of  other  bird  species,  female  lyrebirds  do  not    in  the  imitating,  but  simply  judge  the  competing  males'  symphonies.  Once  learned,  it  seems  a  lyrebird  rarely  forgets  a  call,  and  the  sounds  are  passed  down  through  the  generations.  There  are  some  lyrebirds  in  Victoria,  Australia,  that    recreate  the  sounds  of  axes,  saws  and  old-fashioned  cameras  which  have  not  been  used  in  the  area  for  years.
