I’ve heard of Mockingbirds even imitating odd things like a squeaky door or a car alarm. Mostly I hear them imitating cardinals or sparrows. LOL

It’s amazing that birds can imitate human speech.

When I was a kid, my father brought home a baby crow that had fallen out of its nest.
We raised him, feeding him using an eye dropper.
He followed us around like a puppy. And he was very QUIET.
He even learned to talk.
(Yes, crows really can mimic human words!) He could say, ‘Hello Joe’ (his name) and a few other words.
He was one of the best pets we ever had.
I’d take in another in a heartbeat.

If you ever find a baby crow, take him home and raise him.
Wonderful pets.

Heard our mocker mimic car door lock sounds, ringtones, and as close as he could get to some song bits from the radio.
Catbirds will also mimic, but not as much as a mocker.

Crows are very smart birds.
They recognize specific people, some they like and some they hate.
Had one who would caw at me before doing a mimicked laugh noise.
