    The ornate lyrebird has "one of the most exquisite, complex and beautiful calls in the world".

    The Superb Lyrebird, which lives in Australia, is one of the largest songbirds in the world and is known for its exquisite tail feathers and superb ability to mimic not only the calls of other birds, but also sounds made by nature and even humans, such as the squeak of a tree branch in the wind, the chainsaw of a lumberjack and the shutter click of a camera.

    Sir David Attenborough, biologist, BBC TV presenter and producer, once said that the ornate lyrebird has "one of the most delicate, complex and beautiful calls in the world".

    Male lyrebirds clear a stage in the forest and sing complex songs – often borrowing from other birds – to attract mates. Scientists have confirmed that their imitation is so precise that the imitator is also deceived by their calls.

    The female lyrebird is also proficient in singing, however, due to the choice of research site and other reasons, we have known very little about the call of the female lyrebird in the past.

    A recent study analysed the content and environment of the female lyrebird's chirping and found that although females remain silent during courtship, they make very complex calls throughout their lives.

    The results of this study confirm that female mimicry vocalization plays an important role in nest defense and can regulate reproductive competition between females.

Some things are familiar, and it's the subconscious of the brain that's doing the trick, because there are a lot of similar things that happen in life, and some people are too sensitive, and they have a little bit of predictability, and some of them are repetitions of the plot that they did in their previous lives, and the world is very mysterious, and many scientists can't explain it, so it's all due to metaphysics, and in fact, the human brain has a lot of undeveloped things, so what people do with their consciousness in ignorance can be said to be arranged by fate a long time ago, and you were like a bystander, quietly waiting for it to happen.
