The Bird That Thinks It's a Chain Saw
Australia is home to a strange, yet wonderful, animal diversity. Although the Land Down Under is mainly known for it’s unusual marsupials, venomous snakes and scary spiders, Australia also has a substantial diversity of birds. In fact, this country is one of the greatest hotspots for avian species. Among these, the Superb Lyrebird, Menura novaehollandiae, surely represents one of Australia’s most fascinating. The Superb Lyrebird is one of the largest of the Passerines, the group that comprises over 50 percent of all bird species. The Passerines are commonly known as perching birds and also, less accurately, as songbirds.
