Here's the update to my 2010 Superb Lyrebird. The model is dramatically different from the original with a 284-part tail and based off of my Guineafowl model. Originally, the lyrebird was part of Songbird ReMix Australia v1. With updating that set, I chose to substitute it with a cousin, the endangered Rufous Scrub-bird, and move the much more complex Lyrebird, a set of its own. The new Lyrebird (only) set includes the nominate Superb Lyrebird (male and female), the two subspecies race; edwardi and victorae and the near-threatened Albert's Lyrebird. This new set is in beta and should be ready soon. Lyrebirds are among the world’s largest passerines, looking and acting much more like brown pheasants than like their songbird relatives. This illusion is shattered when male lyrebirds open their mouths to sing. Lyrebirds are among the best mimics in the world, sometimes incorporating human-made sounds (the sounds of chainsaws, a can of spray paint being shaken, camera clicks and cellphone rings) into their exceptionally long song phrases. When not singing, lyrebirds walk quietly through the wet forests of eastern Australia, stopping often to scratch in the forest duff with their long, strong legs in search of grubs. Their name derives from the shape of the spectacular tail plumes of the displaying male. Lyrebirds are ancient Australian animals. The Australian Museum has fossils of lyrebirds dating back to about 15 million years ago. The prehistoric Menura tyawanoides has been described from early Miocene fossils found at the famous Riversleigh site. The Superb Lyrebird is found in the forests of southeastern Australia, from southern Victoria to southeastern Queensland. The Superb Lyrebird is featured on the reverse side of the Australian 10 cent coin and is called weringerong, woorail, and bulln-bulln in Aboriginal languages. A group of Lyrebirds is called a musket. Lyrebirds are polygynous, with a single male’s territory potentially incorporating several female territories. Males have one of the most diverse vocal repertoires of any bird. When a female approaches a male lyrebird’s display site, a dirt mound on the forest floor, he performs an elaborate courtship dance involving his highly modified tail feathers, which, if successful, results in mating.
