Family Menuridae, commonly known as the lyrebirds, are a group of ground-dwelling birds native to Australia. These birds are well-known for their remarkable ability to mimic sounds from their environment, including the calls of other bird species, human speech, and even mechanical sounds. There are two species of lyrebirds in this family: the superb lyrebird and the Albert's lyrebird. Other synonyms for the family Menuridae include lyre-tailed birds, Australian songbirds, and ground birds. As ground-dwelling birds, lyrebirds are often found in wooded areas, and have unique tail feathers that resemble a lyre or harp, hence their name.
