Here's a link for a bird known as a Superb Lyrebird. Their mimicry is amazing.
YouTube- Amazing! Bird sounds from the lyre bird - David Attenborough - BBC wildlife I love mockingbirds. I wish we had them up here. I think that with things ummmm...warming up, we'll have them. Sooner than later. They're already in central IL. Kudzu is in Evanston...can the mockingbirds be far behind? LOL! http://news.illinois.edu/news/05/1020kudzu.html

I have a bird in my back yard who does rap. He has plenty to model it on around here.

I don't know birds. I assumed it was a mockingbird.

![]() Sorry. I was referencing Poe's 'The Raven' "While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,Incidentally, today I heard and then saw the baby Mockingbird in an adjacent Spruce about 10ft away from the original and somewhat lower. I didn't have the camera handy so no pics. I assume he made his first gliding flight that far and wanted to know what was up with the world. Mama and Papa Mockingbird were hanging close by so I think he'll be alright. They seem quite capable of taking care of their own.

Sorry I didn't get that. We have crows, but I don't think ravens. But then Poe wasn't from Alabama (!)
We do have a lot of loud rap music whenever anyone is out washing their car, or just driving by on the street. They turn it up full blast. Birdies know. |

Gray Catbird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catbird: According to this the catbird is a copier, but he repeats his phase just once. My rapper will go at it for most of the morning. |

I learned then that a cat was no match for a mated pair of mockingbirds. |
