* Lyrebirds are generally solitary and territorial animals

* One resident captured 11 of them crowding together around a dam to
escape bushfires and says there were closer to 20 birds there at one point

* One expert says that he has never seen more than six or seven of the
birds together at once and says the photograph is 'unique' and 'remarkable'

Share and enjoy,
