they have an incredible amount of stamina to sing all day long and the variety of chirps they produce is astounding! I’ve been working in my yard and they are just the happiest little birds. so I walked the dogs around the block before sunset and I heard like the angriest sounds coming from two Mockingbird, which caught my attention and I look up and there’s a huge owl in the tree and they were not happy about that owl, and they kept after him until he flew out of the tree and one of those feisty little birds escorted that huge owl right out of the neighborhood

I live in NYC, and the range of sounds they can remember and mimic is amazing. There’s a friendly dude who frequents my yard, sometimes sitting a couple feet away just looking around. I’ve heard car alarms, pedestrian crosswalk beeps, low battery smoke detector chirps (my favorite), and more.

Many days ago I noticed every night i go out to the yard the songs of a mockingbird quite close above my head. Everytime I say something or just sing he does such an incredible and different improvisations .

Such a darling bird love to hear it’s vocals. I have seen it chase away a huge red tail hawk many times

I adore and love mockingbirds, they have a beautiful array of songs. Their songs are tranquil, peaceful, and very entertaining to me. I don’t know if any other species of wild birds has such a vast vocabulary. All I know is I love birds and appreciate their awesome songs.❤❤❤❤❤…

i love the sound of these guys, we have lots of different birds in our yard and a mockingbird was particularly loud last night

Northern Mockingbird is Florida State Bird. Great to learn more about mockinbirds. Thanks for the video.

I saved a hummingbird once from my cat .. he had just somehow caught the bird and had it in her mouth .. but one sec after she caught it I walked out back door and noticed it in her mouth and yelled at her stomping my feet and it startled her making her drop the hummingbird. So I picked it up holding it in my hands looking over it to see if it had any visible injuries and it did not. It had grabbed onto its beak with both feet for some reason. So I carefully peeled one foot at a time off of its beak and was just holding it in my palm I told it it's ok birdie you ok fly go go go and next thing I knew it just took off flying away ...so cool...that was like a real treat for me so to speak not just being able to save the hummingbird but also getting the chance to actually hold one in my hands was pretty damn cool..they so small . Like the size of a silver dollar. What are the odds of ever getting to hd a hummingbird bird in your hands .. thankfully the cats saliva didn't paralyze the bird.. usually all's it takes is like one drop of cats saliva and it will paralyze the bird and they usually won't recover from it.. just thought I would share this story. Enjoy your day .oh and btw I got 3 mocking birds singing right now 24/7 around my house ..

I put a chaise lounge in my backyard to enjoy some private reading time. A mocking bird would come every day and perch on the wire running into the home. He would sing just to get my attention. He would hop more vigorously to get my undivided attention so he could entertain me. I was a pleasant experience especially because he was so friendly and wanted to entertain.

The other day I heard a mockingbird mimic a pileated woodpecker for the first time. And it never occurred to me why I haven't ever heard them mimic this ubiquitous bird, I guess it's a hard one to do. I hope I hear it again

Hi J Birds 👋😊 !! Thanks for coming back on YT 🎉👍. Good to hear your news and intentions 👨‍🎓 📚 🎥 🐦. Thanks also for such a well researched and beautifully presented video, most interesting to the end ✅. See you next time, best wishes for 2023. Cheers, Don 🙋‍♂️ !

I had no idea the mockingbird was the state bird to so many states! Thanks for taking the time to make this, great video!

I habe many mockingbirds nesting in my Holly bushes. There is one male that comes every spring and summer. I know him because he only knows one song and I think he may be a bit "slow". His song is a bit "simple" compared to the other Mockingbirds. I have to say he is persistent.

Currently have 3 baby mockingbird fledgings in my back yard ☺️ Its like watching animal planet live outside my window. Probably a few more days before they fly away.

A great video after a very long time, glad to see you here, wonderful upload

I have been feeding a female mockingbird and she has 4 babies. I feel she knows I am feeding her. She does still swoop at me and follows me everywhere. She even sits close by me and fluffs up and stares at me. Although she is eating the food I leave her.

This is a cute bird. I see one right now and hear him. ❤

We have mockingbirds around here but didn't know these facts! THanks for sharing! 👍👍

I have one that comes and sings daily. Every chance i get I go out and sing with them. I mimic them and they mimic me

My favorite bird!

I live in nyc we’ve got a lot of them. They rival house sparrows

Thank you for the information. We have a nest in a robellini palm tree with a mother and two young chicks just outside our living room window. What a site to see.

I live in rural Arkansas on a farm and have lots of good songbirds including mockingbirds.The 2 types of birds that they seem 2 harass are 2 of my favs which are cards and bluebirds.They are just trying to protect food source IMO.

great stuff as always.

I made friends with one , here in Arizona Sometimes takes dog food from my hand loves fruit , might be a jay though , Either way it's super intelligent

I Love these birds. We call them catbirds here in NC.🎶🐦🎶

So pretty

Love this bird. Good info. May have been better presented with less music.

The young bird that was sitting on the fence it had a lump above its eye what is that i found one with similar lumps all over its body i had to put a end to it cant have it flying around and getting my chickens sick had to do what i had to do

theres a nest of this mocking bird outside my window with 3 or 4 little birdies,what can i do to help mom feed them ?😊

I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!!!

I came here because one of those attacked my cat, I learned a lot, thanks

LETS GOOOO VIDEO UPLOAD!!!

Does the Mockingbird have a voice of its own?

❤

I feel like I have a mocking birds brain!🧠 🐦 Also does that mean that mocking birds have ADD? Like me?! 😂

How can I attract mockingbirds to my yard, I live in southeast Missouri

I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned...the males do an interesting thing to attract females, whereby a male will go onto a tree branch (typically along the end of an upper branch) and 'jump' straight up in the air about 2 feet...and back down on the branch...and repeatedly do this, multiple times, apparently to show how agile they are. I only know this because one day I observed a mockingbird doing this very thing, and I thought 'what the hell??!'... so then I Googled it...

27 Eggs? Na, I would be pooped by then.

NEW VID!!!!! JBIRDS FO LIFE

ayo what was Thomas Jefferson’s bird named???

Please ask them to stop singing at night all night every night 😭😭😭

Really? A video on mockingbirds and no recording of their melodious singing?

I just cannot get past the music. Good info, but rather annoying to listen to.

Eminem rap song is my favorite

There's probably some good info here, but the combination of audio problems makes it painful to listen to. Watched a minute and a half

Misleading video, it's never been northern american mockingbird, it's native to Asia and Middle east, it cannot cross the oceans, the reason why it was introduced by Asian migrants to US. But it's never ever was it native and will never be.

These birds make me so mad. They eat all my fruit or ruin them.

brood parasite brownheaded cow bird or the European starling

Get rid of the background music and speak slowly!

Fuckin hate this bird, it’s so annoying it hearing it day and night

My neighbor drew this repulsive breed of bird by putting up bird houses throughout her property. It pricks my fruit and ruins it yearly. I have grown to hate this pesky bird more than any other kind.
