Comment | In my work with the Sherbrooke Forest Lyrebird Survey Group I occasionally see something remarkable. In this case it was an adult male, 13-15 years old, preening before commencing his display. I have broken an important rule of framing by cutting off the bird's tail in an effort to bring him closer to better see how he is wiping the wet lyrate by quickly drawing it between his upper and lower mandibles. He did the same for his other lyrate, median feathers and tail filaments. | ||||||||||||||||||
