This is a video piece with David Attenborough in Australia from the PBS series on Birds that he hosted ~10 years ago. It is amazing to see again. This bird must have been photographed in the past with both single frame and motor drive cameras. He mimics camera shutters and 19 other sounds in one vocalization series. (not all recorded here). This species must be able to develop as large a vocabulary as African grey parrots, even without human words.
