Made a mistake and looked for the bird of paradise while all the time I meant to look for a lyrebird. I didn’t know its name. I realized BOP was not what I was looking for then remembering his tail looked like a lyre I looked for lyre bird. I got it. What a treat. The video was fantastic gave me a chance to look and listen at this amazing bird. Many thanks.
