[rayunseitig]

cool video

[JGMurakami]

I just heard a mocking bird I think outside my window. I thought it was a cat, then an owl chick (because the owls were around), but it had to be a (mocking) bird! I'm still not sure, but this video is totally spot on (specially your commentary at the end!).

[catawba909]

One of these used to harass my cat until he ended up grabbing him and I saw when he did it buy decided not to save the bird since he would sing at 1am every night. My cat had a nice meal that day.

[50cent4evaandeva]

3 people are dogs...

[Zuchrizal]

3 ppl are cats

[IndigoCat17]

WOW It actually sounds like a cat that is amazing!!

[jhiller21]

is he doing a cricket at the end there?

[life2ful]

haha wow! :D XP

[Melfina456]

That bird is awesome! :)

[s01337]

In NY they do car alarms too. The ones that make 20 different noises. Hear it every now and then.

[TheBird0810]

i would love to be one of those things



[XxrandomGuyx]

That Is fuckin awsome!!!! That is a fuckin awsome cat bird chipmunk thingy mabob haha jk but it is an awsome bird

[spankula123]

They are awesome birds. and I want to kill the one outside my window that calls all night.

[evillaugher]

Catbird mews sound completely different. This mockingbird sounds like he's impersonating a specific cat in the neighborhood. The chipmunk noise... that's just special.

[IloveyouLenaKatina]

This is so great...I have listened over and over and the meows always make me laugh! xD

[IloveyouLenaKatina]

Meow! FTW!!

[keetakitten]

@dean120028 cat birds are a different species and their call sounds like a cat's meow

[IloveyouLenaKatina]

@keetakitten I think he was kidding?

[sjlove2bird]

Hilarious. In NY we had one that did frogs and imitated a neighbor whistling for his dog.

[ScoutCrafter]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!

[dean120028]

that's why they call em cat birds around here

[LitLBirdLitLBird]

I think he may be mimicking a peacock!

<3.

[Whit3Beard7]

meooww meowww meoww meoww ^-^ aweome!!

[LPSparrotFan]

I laughed when I saw this, then i laughed when i heard my laugh. then i laughed because i laughed at my own laugh.

[3DDYR]

hey its a sin TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD lol

[S0lidState]

I think Mocking Birds only make one noise of their own.

[CocacolaCowboy1919]

@S0lidState Think about it for half a second....MOCKing Bird. They are named that because they are known for mimicry. Other birds do this, but the Northern Mockingbird is the most known in North America. They are known to imitate insects, squirells, the cat as in this video and car alarms. They do not fool other birds, but sometimes very well enough to trick humans. They are interesting, I just was looking them up because they are my State Bird (FL) Pretty eggs too.

[robomantis]

Maybe its how they taunt cats? haha!

[scatpack68]

maybe it was just repeating a catbird call?

[tjmerf74]

@scatpack68 Catbirds don't sound like that.

[mattbru2]

@tjmerf74

But Catbirds are supposed to sound like cats.....

[super58173]

Try burping loudly in front of one. The more you burp, the crankier they get.

Really, it's fun watching them try to imitate somthing they can't.

[MrGrowsontrees]

I have heard them mock a cat! its awesome go birds!

[etimsam]

OMG! LMAO!!!! It's soooo hilarious. I don't believe it. Mocking bird meows like a cat? C'mmon guys, cats don't fly. How do Mocking brids know cat sounds? Tell you what guys. We have 2 cats in our house. You shoulda seen them when I upped the volume of the bird's meow sound...LOL!

[jjminkle]

Awsome, thanks, I've heard one meowing also, very cool!

[yeahwellmaybe]

Ha, I'd forgotten about this video until someone replied to my comment (good luck with that, no1taylorlautnerfan). Fitting, as they've been on my mind lately. One has been waking me up in the middle of the night but all I can do is smile at how interesting its calls are. I've also seen a lot of them harassing hawks the past couple of months, I guess since it was nesting season, and that is always entertaining. They're fearless.

[no01taylorlautnerfan]

I have a baby mockingbird with a broken wing on my arm right now, and she eats food right out of my hand, i want her/him to learn mocking bird songs.

[tabbycat1212]

sweetness.

[SkinyPost]

lol, Gotta love it!

[HelloNewYorkCity]

its atticus

[Jakey92407]

Ha! I believe it! I used to live in a bad neighborhood and would hear a mockingbird that mimicked car alarms!

[CanadaEh1969]

yea mocking birds will make any sound they hear in there habit to confuse predators. iv heard one make small hoot noises before and along with cicada and cricket like noises.

[ryansaid]

thats funny i had one in my yard. almost every morning he would do the same thing , cat sounds and he would do the five sounds of the car alarm.

[winterequinox]

guess if you got close enough to one on a regular basis, not necassarily as a pet they would imitate your sounds

[witjunkie]

Thomas Jefferson had a pet mockingbird named "Dick" who he taught to talk. He'd sit on Jefferson's shoulder and say "Wanna bath" to guests in the Exec mansion. I wonder if they took the hint?

[tsurara11]

o.0 incredible creature

[toastyovens]

FAKE

[lazyass86]

It's not fake; this os what mockingbirds do. The copy sounds.

[Alexisrawr15]

haha thats cute i heard a mockingbird immitate a screeching car haha it was crazy

[eksintrik1]

This morning on my roof, I witnessed a very intelligent mockingbird reclaiming their territory. The chimney has a well established bird hierarchy. Pigeons out rank starlings and crows out rank everyone. Just after dawn I saw a mockingbird land on the chimney near 5-6 pigeons. The pigeons inch closer to the mocking bird, trying to shoo him away. He flutters, meows like a cat and the pigeons fly away. With in a couple of minutes starlings and house sparrows joined the him.

[sigendymion]

The long squeak is a blue jay call.

[jboyland1]

That's so cool!

[MadameBeekeeper]

ha! my cat Roger was lying next to me half asleep and as soon as the bird started singing like a cat, Roger's head jerked up and he looked in my direction, wondering where the cat was!

[IcyPoker]

hey! my dad found a baby mockingbird (fledgling) and it only makes a cluck and a weeze sound :D

[rowancty]

Good, then teach it to meow like this video clip.

[ArmoredGriffon]

I both love and hate mockingbirds. They're great because they've got an amazing repertoire of songs, and is actually quite pleasant to listen to.

But not right outside my window at 3 AM IN THE MORNING.

That meowing was kinda cute though. Maybe I should teach "my" mockingbird a song or two that I like.

[WLMPRO]

ROFL

[S4LTxW4T3RxN00B]

[19anime96]

[drugy42091]

[bellagirldee]

Birds are freaken geniuses.

[phlooshafide]

we have one that sings all night too.. =\ I've always wanted to hear it mimic something other than just birds but so far I've just heard it mimic other birds..

[slunacourtier]

There are mockingbirds in MExico that mimick Chickens and roosters. Awesome birdie!

[yeahwellmaybe]

Mockingbirds and how crazy they are make me love existence.

[no01taylorlautnerfan]

@yeahwellmaybe I have a baby mockingbird with a broken wing on my arm right now, and she eats food right out of my hand, i want her/him to learn mocking bird songs.

[oscar12690]

i can hear some telephone sound xD

[eyes4you2envy]

fantastic wow

[oklahomaisok]

he was probably imitating one of the cats he was harassing

[rkmugen]

I've read that Mockingbirds can mimic many things... cats, yes.

But this is the first video evidence I've seen of my favorite bird doing such a thing! Thanks! :D

[sailorette1]

No, he was mimicking a cat! I read that they even mimick creaking doors. This video is a treasure, as you may not see that again.

[ilnee]

Awesome :)

[sailorette1]

How great that you caught this! Do you think he is mimicking a catbird, or a cat? There is just nothing like these incredible, talented birds! Thank you for posting this!
