Rare Recording Not Aired Before
Several years ago, when I was young and adventurous, I joined a scientific exploration team deep in the jungle in search of a very rare, almost extinct, bird. This seagull looking bird had learnt the uncanny skill of mimicking sounds it heard around it. Scientists believed this was as a defence mechanism to frighten predators away. Anyway, I was a young reporter at the time, in search of adventure, and I joined this team to record this bird in full song. Here is a sound track from a short film which we made ...

That is really astonishing! Does it really make the car and camera noises?
ReplyDeleteI was reading through and then watching...all the while wondering what your punchline would be. Just when I thought this was a serious post-- I can't get no...no no no...!
Yes Sandi ... it is ... true!!!
DeleteThe Lyre Bird ... here's a video from David Attenborough ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y
God bless.
That is AMAZING!
DeleteSee ... I tell the truth. I am no Lyre Bird!
DeleteGod bless, Sandi.
Well I sat here listening KNOWING you would “Gotcha” before it was all over.
ReplyDeleteCLEVER, Victor!
Blessings!
It's true, I tell you. All true!
DeleteGod bless you, Lulu.
I am still laughing at the picture in my mind of all these seagulls playing instruments and singing "I Can't Get No Satisfaction"...to funny Victor!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved this :)
God Bless~
I am so pleased that you liked my educational video, Jan.
DeleteGod bless.
Lol, Victor! Just proves that the Rolling Stones have been around so long, animals have adapted to their sounds. Talk about an evolution revolution!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Indeed, Martha. Those seagulls are really clever are they not?
DeleteGod bless, my friend.
Nothing surprises me these days, Victor. If seagulls can make sounds like that then I guess they are more tuned in to things that humans have no idea of. When I was around ten years old, I used to go to a pet store in our town. They had a mynar bird who greeted everyone that came in to the store. It could cough, whistle, scream or laugh. The bird would choose the sound that he wanted to share with you. I never forgot that. He screamed and coughed when I came in so I thought someone was in danger somewhere in the store. Listening to the gulls reminded me of that story.
ReplyDeleteYour sense of humour must have started the day you slid in to the world. :) Thank you, Victor.
Your last sentence, Bill ... I guess I've had my sense of humour from an early age; probably in my late teens early twenties. I suppose it is one way of insulating me from some of the un-happiness in this world. In my youth I visited the sick in hospitals and the old in retirement homes ... it was sad, Bill. I tried to cheer them up ... and myself I guess.
DeleteThank you, Bill. God bless.
… and I was just thinking of the mynah birds. Uncanny, they are. Love the images you've chosen to accompany your story. I just want to reach out and stroke them!
ReplyDeleteIf you do try to stroke them, Mevely, as I tried, they scream "Look ... but don't touch!"
DeleteKeep smiling my friend. God bless you always.
Like Sandi, I was surprised that you were/might actually doing a documentary film. Imagine my relief, when the Rolling Stones came on. Victory, you never fail to entertain.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you enjoy my contributions here, Susan. Why not tell others about it so they can visit here too?
DeleteThank you and God bless.
You never let us down, Victor!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like visiting here, Terri. Keep smiling.
DeleteGod bless you.
