Mockingbird outside my window this morning

[Mermaid02]

We have some Mockingbirds living around our home and this morning I woke up to one of them doing his impression of a car alarm. He was just singing his little heart out at 6:00 am.

I guess he was serenading you!

I've got got a pair of European Collared Doves that do the same thing. Only these doves don't have the gentle, cooing of their American cousins!

Go away and let me sleep in past the crack of dawn!

Aren't mockingbirds so cool?!?

Here's a You Tube video, not of a mockingbird, but of a bird (in a jungle?) that copies the sounds of monkeys and even camera sounds! Give it a few seconds to get interesting.

If the link doesn't work just search "bird sounds lyre." It's a BBC video. Personally, my cat found this video VERY interesting.
