127.DOES THE MOCKINGBIRD HAVE A CALL OF ITS OWN?

Because of its name, and because this bird does have a remarkable ability to imitate the songs and cries of other birds, most people think of it only in this way.

As a “mocking” bird, this creature is amazing. There is a case where an observer once heard a bird mimic the notes of 32 different birds within 10 minutes! The mockingbird may improve on the other bird’s song by making up trills and runs of its own.
