Lyrebirds are so fucking cool
For reference - Australia is finally getting a mobile phone alert system and the first test was sent out at a specific time yesterday
Which means that the lyrebird heard it once and mimicked it

randomly went down a weird little nature rabbit hole and now i NEED to hear a lyrebird make the twitter noise.
(also i Know This post is much better suited for the blue bird app but I dont have it and i dont feel the need to)
The superb lyrebird of Australia is one of nature’s best sound mimics. Its song can copy many other birds, and some lyrebirds can also copy human-made sounds like chainsaws, car engines, and camera-style clicks, especially when they hear those sounds around them.
Illyana Rasputin in Expatriate X-Men #3
And here we come to the other end of the trainwreck that is Illyana's story in the Age of Revelation.
I'll be for real, I expected that I'd end up coping pretty hard when I got to this bit, but actually having read it, I think my reading is the only one that makes sense.
So Illyana had a daughter? With some dude?
Okay, when? Because this says explicitly that it was Illyana who had the daughter, not the Darkchilde after taking over. But we know that Illyana was killed off pretty instantly at the start of this timeline. So when exactly did she have time to meet this Lyrebird, become emotionally ready to have a relationship and be pregnant for nine months?
Here's this daughter who the Darkchilde makes appear out of nowhere, who is conveniently unable to leave and who conveniently fades away when the supposed father gets his hands on her.
The only reading that makes any sense here for me is that the Darkchilde ensorcelled Lyrebird into believing they had a daughter to manipulate him into doing her bidding outside the Limbo Lands. And when he tries to take her away, she punishes him while still dangling the possibility of getting the daughter back later in front of him. Sucker.
You got with Illyana, Lyrebird? Keep dreaming.
