A Pied Butcherbird choir to sing in the weekend! Found across most of mainland Australia, Pied Butcherbirds are best known for their beautiful flute-like song – among the most musical of the songbirds. 🎥 Sari Beasley | BirdLife Australia

Sound on 📣 📣 Lyle Paull says he first noticed the butcher bird singing “La Cucaracha” about a week ago when he was lying in bed. He lives in an old farmhouse a Karalee acreage, southwest of Brisbane. He says he’s not 100% sure the butcher bird picked it up from him, but he “does do a bit of whistling around the paddock” 😁 Thanks to Lyle Paull for sharing this moment of Australiana!

Conversation between superb lyrebird and grey butcherbird. Yes - this lyrebird was responding in realtime. Almost all of the his vocalisations were butcherbird calls here. I've seen lyrebirds instantly relay calls before but this was the first time that the other species seemed to maintain a back and forth. #lyrebird #superblyrebird #butcherbird #greybutcherbird | Jeremy Films Things
