Lyra, Lira.
Popularized in the poem 'My Country' by Dorothea Mackellar - 'Core of my heart, my country! Her piping bird songs at break of day, And soft and low and sweet and clear - The magpies here, the magpies there, The magpies all around declaring Their morning joy in lirralirra'.
While not commonly used in movies or TV, the word appears in Australian literature and poetry, particularly in works focusing on native birdlife and bush poetry. It's used as an onomatopoeic representation of birdsong.
A beautifully sounding unusual name for a small pet.
