A lyrebird has been caught mimicking the ‘evacuate now’ siren at Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
The native Australian bird has the ability to accurately mimic almost any sound it hears, with an evacuation triggered less than two weeks ago when lions escaped from their enclosure. #9News

I am super excited to share the first video of the Black-naped pheasant-pigeon, a species from Papua New Guinea lost to science for 140 years! @ABCbirds @rewild @Jordan_Boersma @johnmittermeier

We love to see a variety of creators using our platform to share their knowledge and experience.
One such creator was @BioBush, who shared his knowledge of #bird orders through his list.

This emu has taken over the duck coop and is now diligently siting on goose eggs. I just watched a chicken run in, burrow under him, lay an egg, and leave.

A funny experiment that shows how hairstyle is important to some birds.

Bird vertebrae are Cervical 8 to 25, Dorsal 6 to 10 (fused), Synsacral 10 to 22 (fused), Caudal 5 to 10, and Pygostyle 4 to 7 (fused). LOTS of vertebrae, not lots of articulation!
For comparison humans are Cervical 7, Thoracic 12, Lumbar 5, and Coccyx 4 (partly fused)

Look closely at this parrot, and you will notice that she has tiny black feathers that make up the lines on her face. Even the things that look like hairs around her nose are tiny feathers! Nature is amazing at whatever level you observe!

This Ball Python blends in so well with the forest floor, with lines and patterns on its scales that mimic dead leaves and dappled sunlight. How does the Ball Python know to do this? It's amazing!
