He was bored by being stuck in a cage by the shop window, so he used to relieve the tedium by imitating the shoplifter alarm whenever some poor unsuspecting punter walked out, with a view to getting them frisked. He was pretty good at it. Sara – That Lyrebird reminded me of an African Grey parrot I met a while ago in a chandlery shop on the Isle of Wight.

It's visually stunning and so beautifully filmed with a truly wonderful musical score to accompany it. Make sure you watch it on a huge TV though! :) “the documentaries from david attenborough are just like poetry in motion…beautifully filmed”

I'm rather impressed by the Superb Lyerbird myself, it lives in Australia and most notable for their ability to mimic natural and unnatural sounds.

I was just wondering if there's an octopus expert in the house or whether I would have to rely on snippets of nature documentaries! Personally I don't think any animal would be dumb enough not to know when it had reached maximum capacity... even obese people have a limit. Mind you I did see a great David Attenborough documentary in which they showed an octopus solving a maze and crawling through a hole a fraction of it's body width. They are brilliant...
