The Lyrebird 

The Lyrebird is a native Australian bird, the largest of all singing birds, whose remarkable voice can often be heard but the bird is very shy and is not often seen in the wild.

The lyrebirds' tail feathers are about 2 feet long. When relaxed they droop like a peacock's train. When raised they take on the shape of a lyre. The male bird uses his fine voice and his gorgeous feathers during his mating dance which he performs on a stage (a mound of dirt).The lyrebird is an expert mimic.

In Australian Aboriginal mythology the lyrebird is the storyteller. 

The legendary Lola Montez was so captivated by the lyrebird that she took one back to California with her to join her menagerie of unusual pets, after her successful tour in 1855.
