conulyI do like mockingbirds, I like how they flash white when they fly.
I'd even like their singing if they weren't all so overly enamored with car alarms. I just don't get the appeal. You're a brilliantly smart bird, you can memorize dozens and scores and even hundreds of songs, and you've decided to rattle off your entire repertoire of car alarms every night? Apparently so!
