Chook (born 1979) hatched in the wild but was hand raised at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria. He came to Adelaide Zoo in 1991. Chook died in December 2011. About 80% of Chook’s song consists of expert mimicry, emulating many of the sounds in his immediate surroundings. Like all wild lyrebirds Chook can imitate the sounds of many other bird species but he has also learnt to imitate some more unique sounds during his time at the zoo.
