Jun. 10th, 2005 08:03 amMale Mockingbirds "collect" sounds to mimic in order to impress females and win mates. The more sounds a male has, the more likely he is to win a mate. The one near my house is NEVER, EVER going to get laid. He has one sound and it is the "Beep beep" of a car alarm being disarmed. While appropriate, (After all, what is it saying?? "I'm open! I'm unlocked! I'm AVAILABLE!!") It's is hardly an enviable repitoir. Especially at 4:30 in the morning. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. This morning I felt like shooting him, only I knew A) that's just WRONG and B) I'd miss and then he would just acquire the sound of a gun firing. "Beep, Beep BANG! Beep, beep BANG!" And that would be so much worse.
