It's amazing how certain animals have appended certain actions to their every day ones from the influence of humans. Especially when it involves technology, which in terms of adapting inherited traits, hasn't been around for that long.
I was in Australia recently where the Lyrebird is native. It has the ability to mimic sounds. In more touristy areas you can hear them mimicking the sound of a camera shutter. In areas of deforestation you can hear them mimic the sound of a chainsaw.

The red back parrot we had many years ago came from a farm so naturally it only made sheep noises!
The bird flew into a door and died though
Buried in the garden.The monkey story is excellent, good thing the photographer had the focus on auto and so on otherwise it could have been a blurry affair!
Monkeys are amazing.

Great vid. 
I doubt it, my cat seems to know that his reflection is just himself and not another cat.

i watched a video on world star hop hop the other day where african soldiers (who were laughing their heads off and most likely high) gave a monkey an ak47 fully loaded, then ran for cover when it started shooting it.
