This bird > J00.

Is this that African Grey parrot named "Einstein" that does the animal sounds and other noises?

It's a documentary about the lyerbird.

In April 2006, to celebrate naturalist David Attenborough's 80th birthday, the public were asked to vote on their favourite of his television moments. This clip of the lyrebird was voted number one. A Lyrebird is either of two species of ground-dwelling Australian birds, most notable for their extraordinary ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment.

At first I was thinking "wtf, the mocking bird does the same thing". Boy was I wrong.

The bird is able to replicate VERY unusual sounds it's also heard in the jungle, not just birds. This one made the sounds of a camera shutter clicking, camera shutter clicking with the whirr of winding the film, a chainsaw and a car alarm.

It's an Australian Lyrebird. Shows how it imitates a bunch of other birds' calls, then goes to imitate other sounds it has heard such as a camera, car alarm, and chainsaws. :Q
