The lyrebird can imitate a chainsaw -- among many other things. This is from the BBC's Life on Earth.

Note that there is a bit of subterfuge in this -- some or all of the lyrebirds mimicking were in captivity and would have heard these unnatural sounds much more than the typical wild bird.

Excellent! I thought everyone had seen this, indeed.

Don't fall for the parody though ...

Wow thanks. The camera shutter and car alarm were something but that chain saw sound is incredible.
