Just saw this. Seems poor Chook is no longer with us.
For those unfamiliar with a Lyre Bird, they mimic any sound they hear.
Chook was listening to construction work at the Adelaide Zoo.
From what I can tell, apart from the monkeys in the background, all the other sounds/ bird calls are from chook.
The name comes from the tail. Shaped like a lyre. You can see him fan it out. Also on the obverse of the Oz 10c coin.
Enjoy.
