Male 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.

Don't get me started about mockers. We have a LOT of them around here and they drive me nuts. Singing on and on and on and on, even til 3AM.
How in the hey is a female supposed to know if the bird she hers is a male mock or another bird of a different species entirely.

Durn mocks.

I have no idea how they know. Except that someone once told me that mocingbirds don't actually mock other birds.. Or some such..

It's funny.. When I was laying awake at 4:30 am composing this entry in my head I thought to myself, adamantine1 is gonna totally relate to this...You being Nature Boy and all....

A friend of mine gets this magnetic bird seed that he feeds to the roadrunners in his neighbordood. Then he climbs up on a cliff and waits for a roadrunner to stop and nibble it and then he drops an anvil off the cliff, right where the bird is feeding.

I can't remember how it worked out for him, but it makes sense to me...
