|
| The song of the mockingbird is, in fact, a medley of the calls of many other birds, each repeated several times. |
 |
| It will imitate other species'
songs and calls, squeaky gates, pianos, sirens, barking dogs, etc. Each
imitation is repeated two or three times, then another song is started,
all in rapid succession. It is common for an individual bird to have as many as 25-30 songs in its repertory. |
