The Message of the Lyrebird

In 1998, wildlife cinematographer Nick Hayward filmed the famous lyrebird sequence for David Attenborough's The Life of Birds, in which Australia’s most creative songbird perfectly mimics the sound of a chainsaw chopping down a tree. In this thrilling eco-mystery, Nick and a team of scientists, sound recordists, and advocates journey deep into the forest to capture the beauty of the lyrebird.
