"Mocking"bird!


Yesterday I was out back and our resident male mockingbird (the kind who sings allllllll night until he finds a female and, well, ours is still single apparently!) was sitting up in a tree making his various noises, car alarm sounds, parrot-imitating and singing. I whistled at him and he looked down at me and very solemnly said, "Tweet. Tweet. Tweet"..... reminiscent of all the old cartoons and comics of every bird known to man lol. Now I know where they truly get their name from! A "mocking" bird, indeed!
