Lyrebirds are not only able to mimic the songs of hundreds of other birds, they can mimic a great variety of sounds, including chainsaws, camera shutters, stockwhips and so on.
This behaviour is part of the lyrebird's courtship. The male produces the most elaborate song he can in an effort to attract a female.
Birds do not sing for pleasure, they sing to communicate with other birds. There are territorial songs intended to warn off competitors, and mating songs intended to attract mates.

Observational learning
Passerine birds are generally your smaller birds that perch on branches and sing songs by tweeting etc. Non-passerines are birds that do not perch and sing and tweet. For example, an eagle or an ostrich are both non-passerines as they do not chirp or tweet songs, where as things like sparrows and most birds you find in your backyard do tweet all day and perch. These are your passerines.
Most birds have many types of calls. Some sing, just to sing it appears, while others, like vultures, rarely do anything more than make grunting sounds. Most birds have several types of sounds, territorial songs, alarm calls, and songs to attract mates.
