Geocache Description:


This cache is named in honor of the amazing Australian lyre bird - none of which will be found in WMass.  This bird is incredibly talented like you wont believe! Imagine a bird that can mimic most everything it's able to hear.  How about a chainsaw?  A car alarm? How about a camera? Even better , your speech!  Think i'm kidding - after you find this cache & sign the log - go onto You Tube , type in the search window at top "lyre bird video's".  You'll see a number of video's.  Check them all out!  David Attenborough's is my favorite one!  Whats that? The theme song from Seinfeld? No way? A bird can do all this and more? Yup! It certainly can!  Beek,head,neck,voice box are all the tools the lyre bird needs.  They have the audio equivilent of a photographic memory.  They typically will mimic sounds it doesn't normally hear in it's enviroment.  Please, check it out!  Back to the cache at hand - or hopefully soon to be.  This cache is a  plastic container,about 11 oz,painted brown/blk - found where else?...where a bird may likely be found.  Happy hunting & enjoy this forest.  Quiet Bear
