Mockingbirds are brighter than all other birds and they knew how to imitate others. Their calls are to attract females more than to ward of males. It can also recognise people in less than 30seconds so it is attractly quite dangerous to provoke a mockingbird. It lives in North America and likes to sing in warm moon light. The mockingbird's main diet are insects and they will also be attracted by plants, for example, holly, mulberries, raspberries, Virginia creeper, blackberries, dogwood, elderberries, hackberry, brambles, pyracantha, cotoneaster, grapes or figs.The mockingbird's voice can imitate a dog's barking as well as a piano, so you can hear easily and know when you are in danger from the voice of a mocking bird. Mockingbirds require open grassy areas for their feeding, thick, thorny shrubs for hiding the nest and high perches where the male can sing and defend his territory. Gardens are among its favorite dwelling places especially if winter berries are available.
