The Mockingbird is one of nature's mimics. He can replicate the songs of other birds and even insects, often in rapid succession. These are used, along with flight displays, to attract a mate. Once paired, he retains a monogamous relationship, albeit a flimsy one, as the male may continue singing and the female may investigate newcomer males. This medium-sized passerine is also known for his intelligence; he is able to recognise individual humans, particularly those that have proved a threat to him. He follows an omnivorous diet of insects, seeds, arthropods and fruit.
