Mockingbird
Avian vocal copycat
A mockingbird is a gray songbird native to the Americas, named for its ability to mimic the calls of other birds and various sounds in its environment.
The northern mockingbird is the most common species in the United States, often heard singing elaborate sequences that borrow from dozens of other birds.
A mockingbird sang outside my window at 3 a.m.
The bird appears frequently in American literature and culture as a symbol of innocence.
