this is true, they will never forget! the girls look about the same to show that the birds will recognize the right one, even if all previous ones looked like her! very cool! memory like an elephant!
I read about this test. The girl went and messed with the bird's nest one time, and became the bird's enemy for life. It didn't matter what the girl wore, or what day it was, the bird could always tell it was her and would chase her away every time.
I'm sure the mockingbird recognized her. Did anyone notice he flew past the other girls who looked like her as if to get a closer look just to make sure?
Thomas Jefferson had several pet mockingbirds. His favorite, named "Dick", traveled to France with him and lived in the Exec Mansion office when he was pres. Dick would entertain guests by saying "Want a bath?" and "More 'oap, more 'oap!". (a gentle suggestion about personal hygiene, perhaps?).
That is really cool! Was she wearing the same clothes she'd worn when she approached the nest before? I wonder how the mockingbirds can tell her apart from everyone else-- her facial features, her hair, the way she moves...?

Heck, *I* might have trouble distinguishing between the four thin, fair-skinned, blond females.

Yeah, I was wondering the same...
Please, could anyone (who's involved in the test) answer the question above about the clothes?
