You and me both realbirdlady. I can never make sense of what it's actually supposed to sound like from reading it either. ;o) Except for Chickadee's. They pretty much sound just like it's written.

Good old Mockingbirds. I call them 'Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde' birds. And every Spring I get at least one pair coming to my deck to get American Cheese. Yep, you heard me right. It started out with one dominate bird coming about 4 years ago (who would take it from my hand) but last year a PAIR started coming and I do believe I helped them raise a couple of broods. This year they did the same. It's a HOOT! The one that would eat from my hand would also hang off the kitchen storm door to get my attention some times. They can be quite bold and demanding. ;o) Brown Thrushes are also mimics as are Starlings (as I'm sure you know already). Sometimes it's hard to think around our house what with all the TALKING! LOL I'm going to see if I can find a photo of one of my 'cheese birds' to post with this.
