This is the most impressive thing i have seen anything ever do. It is a bird. watch the video and see. The amazing stuff starts at 1:40.

ok, just to warn you, at some point during this video, you will most likely not believe that the bird is actually making those noises. The bird is actually doing this, its not faked.

It would cause panic if that bird starts sounding like gun fire.

I agree. Wow. What a bird. Wonder what would happen if you kept one and you also happened to have an angry yelling parent.

I suppose that they're 'cool', ive never heard one make sounds as weird as that. They're damn loud though. I should know I live near some, one particular one which has learned to mimic my dogs bark lol.

@skarik ive seen some at a zoo which make talking sounds

Yeah it would get confusing too..

There are birds in the US(Oregon) that can mimic sounds like that, and they are quite impressive, they can imitate bus stops, guns, people whatever, but they aren't quite as loud and they are about quarter the size....and since i hunt quite a lot, it is VERY confusing to hear some sounds that aren't supposed to be made in the woods.

hehe, that would be awesome. but its weird to think how they "get" sounds, is there brain an audio recorder? lol, it seems they just open their throat and a sound comes out.

i watched a behind the scenes type thing of the video you posted, and the guy said the only reason he got the chainsaws was because they were harming his environment and his life might be at stake, so they "record" when they are in danger............maybe its to tell us how they are going extinct!?! lol, jk.

lol like this:

*chainsaw noise*

"he's trying to tell us something!"

*chainsaw noise*

"you like woodcarving?"

*irritated chainsaw noise*

"you... want to compete in outdoor games?"

*angry chainsaw noise*

"uhhh..."

*imitating* "look at that weird bird, i think i'll keep it for a pet after we cut down this forest!"

"you want to... take up acting?"
