Footage of an Australian bird mimicking the sound of emergency sirens has gone viral in the midst of the raging Australian bushfires, which have now burned millions of acres of Australian land.
The astounding video was taken in Newcastle, New South Wales by Gregory Andrews, who posted it to Facebook on Dec. 26. The bird's impression is spot on, but the sad context of the bushfires — the reason the bird has heard enough sirens to mimic them perfectly — turns what would normally be a cool and lighthearted video into something unsettling, somber, and practically dystopian.
