Wouldn't mimicking make them Liar-brids instead of Lyrebirds?
But yeah, crows mimic stuff, up to and including human speech, like parrots do. They also have a language among themselves, with regional accents and dialects. Believe it or not, crows know the difference between an empty handed man and a man holding a gun, and that distinction can be detected in their warning caws.
They also have names for each other, and even use names for certain humans. They can distinguish between individual humans, and remember how those humans treated them in the past.
Oddly, the bird talk DOES tie into the paranormal in a way - where do birds get this ability from, considering the tiny size of their brains? Birds' brains are barely big enough for them to know how to be birds. Where do the extra abilities come from? Might they be channeling information or abilities from sources outside themselves?

There is a small family group of crows around here, I guess they call a group a murder of crows. They seem to hang around this single raven and I used to think the crows were chasing it away all the time. Now, I think they actually just hang out for some reason.
When they fly over I talk to them and wave. They look down and acknowledge my presence as they fly by. I recognize them and I'm pretty sure they recognize me. They rarely roost in the trees by the house, but this area seems to be a fly over area on the way from here to there.
Pink Floyd was aware of giant flying pigs and had one at their concerts. These are "pigs on the wing" as they called them.
