Albert's Lyrebird is a spectacular and rare ground-dwelling bird endemic to a small region of eastern Australia. Males are famous for their elaborate tail feathers and incredible vocal mimicry.
Where to spot
Endemic to a restricted rainforest region in southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, Australia. Found in dense, humid subtropical rainforest.
How to spot
This shy bird is primarily terrestrial. Listen for its extraordinary vocalizations, which can mimic dozens of other bird species, human sounds, and even chainsaws. To spot, look for movement on the forest floor, often near gullies. Its less elaborate tail distinguishes it from the Superb Lyrebird.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal and active during the breeding season (winter months in Australia, roughly May to August) when males are displaying. Best observed at dawn or dusk.
