On their cleared mounds the amazing lyre shaped tails above their backs in a territorial display
In Sherbrooke forest the male superb lyrebirds are singing today
They sing all Winter from the early Fall
Renowned in the Birdworld as the greatest mimics of all
In their song they incorporate the sound of animals and the noise of machinery and the songs of other birds living near
The songs of the male lyrebirds are quite amazing to hear
In the raising of the sole chick any part the males never play
During their breeding Season on their territorial mound they sing every day
A grey and brown bird about the size of a pheasant they are loved and widely known
For their amazing mimicry and songs they are in a class of their own
Those who have heard a lyrebird singing the memory of it retain
For to enjoy when they visit their memories again
How pleasant in Sherbrooks on a chilly wintery day
To hear a male lyrebird singing on his mound in a territorial display.
