The latter can be brought about by
lyrebirds (Menura novaehollandiae), which cause substantial disturbance and mix soil and litter to a depth of 10 cm (Ashton and Bassett 1997).
Lyrebird's voice cloning algorithm is capable of not only mimicking human voice but also use some real-world audio samples to add an emotional aspect to sound even more realistic.

LYREBIRD by Cecelia Ahern (HarperCollins, hardback PS16.99, ebook PS6.99) .....
LYREBIRD BY CECELIA AHERN (HarperCollins, hardback PS16.99, ebook PS6.99) HHHH H CECELIA Ahern was just 21 when she wrote epic tear jerker PS I Love You, and since then her best-sellers have kept on coming.
It was reported in Wild Life in 1939 that Ray T Littlejohns (famed for his work on the Superb
Lyrebird Menura novaehollandiae and Mistletoebird Dicaeum hirundinaceum, and a president of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union) had been experimenting with the use of an automated camera with an 'open flash-lamp' in order to take pictures of the Yellow-rumped Thornbill Acanthiza chrysorrhoa in its nest.
The segment is devoted to the mimetic virtuosity of the male
lyrebird. He rehearses his mating call while Attenborough (his post-colonial visage expurgated here) redundantly tells his audience what it is they're hearing.
Editions de l'Oiseau-Lyre (the
Lyrebird Press) was founded in Paris in 1932 by Melbourne-born Louise Hanson-Dyer (1884-1962).
The
Lyrebird can imitate a circular saw, nail gun, camera shutter and lots of other mechanical devices.
We needed an illustrator who could imagine the significance of Edith's relationship with
lyrebird James.
She has altered the song of the
lyrebird, a natural mimic, to imitate the sounds of car horns, car alarms, and jackhammers, hinting that as the man-made environment encroaches ever more on nature, it modifies what we hear as much as what we see.
