I don't think i've seen anything like this in all my time of observing the animal kingdom.

Not only does this bird mimic the birdsong of at least 20 other species, which can even fool the original, he can even impersonate the sounds of cameras, car alarms and chainsaws. It has to be seen/heard to be believed.

Apparantly this bird is capable of replicating a massive array of sounds, natural and artificial including human voice, dogs barking, explosions, rifle shots and babies crying. Truly incredible!
