Mocking birds are song birds of North America. They get their name from "mocking" or imitating the calls of other birds, and have also been known to imitate car alarms and other city noises. Mocking birds tend to be blue and white with a distinctive black stripe on their wings that can be seen as they fly.
Mocking birds are also fiercely territorial. They will attack cats, dogs, and even people if they get to close to the nest.
