Few documentaries come close! I have been lucky enough to view the Superb Lyrebird in the wild many times, although I have yet to see their spectacular courtship display. Ahhh Life of Birds.

Your post reminded me of an article from Conservation Magazine (January 09) in which the author describes human noises over-powering nature sounds. As per the opening quote: "A male European blackbird was terrorizing the neighborhood. For several months, he started singing at around 5 a.m. each day, but this was no ordinary song. The bird imitated the sounds of ambulance sirens and car alarms at a jarringly life-like volume. It even produced cell-phone ring tones that went unanswered for hours."
