There is a mockingbird in our complex who knows at least three distinct car alarm sounds. Now, that might not sound like too big of a deal, but each alarm that this little guy knows is of the variety which incorporates multiple sounds/volumes. Car alarms seem to be this little guy's favorite thing to mimic and it's kind of hilarious. He's good at it too. The past few mornings Kent and I have been laying in bed just listening to him "sing" his heart out and laughing. He'll do a few loops of one alarm and then get board and move on to another. Lather, rinse, repeat.
One morning this lead to the question of what we would mimic if we were mockingbirds. Kent's vote was for bugle calls ala Reveille. My pick was doorbells just because it would drive the Ursula insane.
