What Am I?

I live in the bush around the Blue Mountains

I scratch in the dirt, looking for food

I can fly, but spend most of my time on the ground

I am in love with my own voice, even though I never have anything original to say

I can pretend to be a multi-specied flock of birds

I have a tail which looks like a musical instrument

I laugh like a kookaburra, whip like a whip-birb, and squawk like a cockatoo

I can even play computer games

I AM...
