琴鸟指的是澳洲特有的两种雀形目鸟类。它们都以模仿外界声音，雄鸟以里拉琴状的尾羽（因而有琴鸟之名）和其求偶方式著名：

• 华丽琴鸟（Menura novaehollandiae，澳洲原住民称为Weringerong），是澳洲的国鸟，产于新南威尔斯和维多利亚州森林区，并在19世纪被引进塔斯曼尼亚。
• 艾伯特亲王琴鸟（Menura alberti），仅见于昆士兰南部雨林，以维多利亚女王之夫艾伯特亲王命名。

A lyrebird is either of two species of ground-dwelling Australian birds, that form the genus, Menura, and the family Menuridae. They are most notable for their superb ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment. As well as their extraordinary mimicking ability, lyrebirds are notable because of the striking beauty of the male bird's huge tail when it is fanned out in display; and also because of their courtship display. Lyrebirds have unique plumes of neutral-coloured tailfeathers and are among Australia's best-known native birds.
