A male Lyrebird, famous in Australia, known for being able to identify the sounds from her surroundings, mimics the sounds of a mixed breed herd to court a female and contribute to the their chances of breeding. A study published in the journal Current Biology has found that the Lyrebird man is trying to seduce the woman into the false notion of a “moving herd” and has reported several sounds of shock and alarm. a warning device caused by the herd as a result of a threat of predation.
The male lyrebirds can send in these false signals after their development has been rejected by the female lyrebird. According to the study, the birds may make noises of kookaburras, cockatoos, or sounds such as camera shutters, car alarms and chainsaws to bring the female lyrebirds species together. The symptoms could range from sinister to sad as these Australian birds try to make their second courtship call using lies and deception, scientists at the Australian National University have found. This false behavior of the males by imitating the sounds of wings and throwing prey of a group of birds makes the female lyrebird think it is dangerous in another environment, so he lives with the male. This silent soundtrack was viewed as part of a male lyrebird sex courtship song.

“The male Superb Lyrebird creates a stunning acoustic vision when a mate tries to leave a male on display without copying, or at the time of copying itself,” explained Anastasia Dalziell, a researcher at Cornell Lab of Ornithology at the University of Wollongong, Australia.
“Those two moments are crucial to male reproductive success, suggesting that imitating a mobile herd is an important behavior for males,” she said.
Lyrebird species’ ‘trap of consciousness’
The elegant Australian male lyrebird (Menura Novaehollandiae) creates the “sensation trap” for women with linear sounds, some of the recordings captured by scientists in Sherbrooke Forest in southeastern Australia. A detailed study of the behavior of these male bird species has shown that lyrebird songs are not always ‘honest gestures’ but largely imaginative voices.
Similarly, the world’s tallest bird native to the mountains of the northern Amazon known as the white bell is known to roar some of the most amazing birds ever. The ringing sound of the white-bellied ear has broken the record for the loudest ones ever heard on the planet, usually made by men for courtship. The noises are said to be louder than the prison bellows and like howler monkeys according to the University of Massachusetts and the Amazonian National Research Institute in Manaus, Brazil.
