Northern Mockingbird

The Northern Mockingbird, otherwise known as Mimus Polyglottus, is a grey medium-sized songbird that is mostly recognized for its endless singing and its outstanding ability to mimic various sounds. These birds can be found all throughout North America. Although, these birds rarely migrate, there are times when they will go further south. This only occurs when the weather is really cold. Being an omnivore, this bird eats a wide variety of fruit and insects, such as berries and beetles. This species can as well be found in habitats such as parks, residential areas, farmlands, or any grassy areas with hedges or thickets. During mating season, the male Northern Mockingbird can attract a female by first establishing a territory. Once this is done, the male bird will chase her around while singing to her. He will also perform a flight display, which shows off their beautiful white wing patches.
