Friday Free for All is the time of the week when FilmDrunk breaks from timely movie news to post sweet videos. You’re welcome. Send your tips to lance@filmdrunk.com.
Today’s clip comes from a BBC nature show with David Attenborough featuring the lyre bird, which can apparently mimic any sound it hears. Fast forward to the 1:54 mark for the money shot of the bird mimicking two different types of cameras, a car alarm, and foresters with chainsaws. Definitely makes your cockatiel saying “here kitty kitty” seem stupid. Well, more stupid, anyway. Anyone else smell a buddy cop movie starring the bird and that guy from the Police Academy movies? Imagine the hijinks! Police Work is for the Birds, they could call it.

That guy from Police Academy prefers to be called by his street name . . . “Will do voiceover sound effects for food”.
So, now the bird world has their own version of P. Diddy?
I’d rape that bird.
that guy from the Police Academy movies?
Steve Douchenturd?
Fek, my brotha in BTK. What did you do to incite this?

erswi-it won’t matter. Iowa is in perpetual “happy hour”.
Thanks a lot for posting this! I couldn’t find it and had some friends I wanted to show.
My mom’s African Grey says, “Nigga please.” Your move, lyre bird.
I wish ostriches could talk. I bet they’d be hilarious.
I’d rape that bird.
Then, I’ll come by to video tape its newest impersonation – 2 seconds of grunting followed by uncontrollable sobbing.
I don’t know what he told you, but that bird is not my doppelganger!
When I heard the Kukaberra [sic? Fuckit.] sound, I yelled,
DR. LIVINGSTON, I PRESUME?!?!?
I don’t know why.
Here’s some more footage of that bird:

Jesus Christ…can someone please get this bird laid?? I haven’t seen someone so desperate to get laid since that time I danced on the bar to “Jitterbug” then ate my own weight in cocktail onions…I cry alot.
Yeah, trying a bit too hard there, mister lyre bird. The female lyre bird had better be a golden peacock with big tits a big nest. You wouldn’t catch a cuckoo behaving like this.
There was supposed to be a strikethrough there. Nevermind.
My ex wife once fucked a lyre bird. It had learned her mating call – the sound of my car driving away.
