I just read the full story!
the same thing happened to me last Christmas. I had my camera (flash attached) sitting on the coffee table when my 1 year old son decided to yank the strap. Hot Shoe snapped off. You would think they could at least design the flash to be the weakest point.
Still, well done on the Lyrebird, I've seen them in the wild on occasion but have never been able to actually get a shot in time.
