There is nothing, nothing mind you, more relaxing and enjoyable than lying in a hammock on a blissful spring morning with your eyes closed, rocking to and fro while listening to a mockingbird. Nothing!
acehole1a I agree to this so much. When I was on Summer vacation a few years back, I would get up early and do the exact same thing. Sadly, I never got to experience it again. Maybe I'll get to this Summer, who knows!
I once heard a mockingbird imitate a Dusky Seaside Sparrow, some fifteen years after the Duskies were officially declared extinct. This indicates that some songs are learned from the parent birds and passed down through generations. A type of bird music culture, if you will.
Ok, already being amazed by Mockingbirds, and having a rescued one for a companion, I am stunned at your comment. To think that they had mimicked a bird that is now extinct and that song or call was passed down is just incredibly interesting.
Mark Savage well they copy what they hear almost indiscriminately, so of course they'd keep copying older mocking birds with different songs. They don't care if it's an extinct bird or a car alarm. I even got one to copy my whistle as a kid.
Something strange and beautiful and immeasurably sad about that. In South Australia, the lyrebird expertly mimics the sound of chainsaws cutting down its environment.
I miss living where we had these birds around all the time. I used to love leaving the windows open on slightly cooler nights, doing my artwork while listening to the mockingbirds. Thank you for the upload.
We recently moved to Washington from California and the one thing I miss so much is the songs of the mockingbirds in our yard. I'd wake up in the middle of the night smiling and think, what in the heck am I smiling about and then I'd hear them and know. I don't know that I'd call them aggressive, but they are definitely protective of the babies! If their nests/babies are safe, they never tended to cause any trouble--at least not the ones in our yard. Also, depending on the sounds of your neighborhood, their songs vary. The songs our guys sang seemed more flowing and less choppy than this one, but this one is beautiful too. Thanks so much for sharing!
Being raised in the L.A.area ,hearing this brings back memories of a nesting pair who chose a tree in our yard.Every morning we were greeted by a Mocking birds serenade,and at different times during the day.
They record, remember other birds songs. It reminds me of when I was a kid. It's lovely to hear them at night singing ,it feels so peaceful. You take a deep breath & close your eyes. Then you fall deeply asleep. Ahhh!
Such a wonderful serenade. I've had one outside my house...don't know how long...just kind of noticed it and listened in amazement. At one point I swear he was mimicking a frog. Thank you for this video. I love this song.
My friend has been comming to my location for the last 2-years,usually starts around 11pm until sunrise,he is actually singing outside my window right now!But I love nature and all it has to offer so I"m just trying to enjoy,despite several nights of sleep deprivation.
Mockingbirds are my favorite. There are many living in the Dogwood tree and the huge azalea and Camilla bushes all around the front of my porch. I love when I can sleep with the window open and hear them as the sun is just coming up and at dusk. I've made some recordings and I'd love to figure out how to put them all together. This video is awesome and perfect for when I can't sleep with the window open. Thank you for this gem.
A mocking bird nesting in my neighborhood learned to sing like my cockatiel. I think the bird taught others in the area...because even after my cockatiel passed away there was always a mocking bird making the same sound. It was like listening to a legacy continue on.
They ARE the most intriguing birds!!! I *LOVE* their mimicing songs and their FEISTINESS when fending off birds 10 x's their size!!! Beautiful creatures and I always praise them, even at 2 a.m.! They have great spirit and chutzpah!
Last year We moved to a smallest house,with less tall tree,the my x-next door neighbor had a lot of green,we had a couple of mockingbirds there,visiting us daily,bathing in our sprinkler,and singing late into the night,Gosh we miss them,this flick is so good,thank you so much Hi from Vegas
Whenever I hear songs like this, I look for the highest pole or tree and will almost always spot the mockingbird in concert. I had one in my old neighborhood who would engage in whistling contests with me. He could match a pitch if I whistled it.
Now I finally know exactly what kind of bird that kept me awake while I stayed in a quiet neighborhood in Las Vegas....same exact time frame and sounds. They're sing extremely beautiful and musical. They are very loud and if you aren't used to them, you are going to be walking around with dark circles under your eyes the following days. Thank you for the fantastic upload!
I love the Mocking Bird. They sound so lovely. l've heard then most of my life. It seemed no matter where I lived I was always near enough to get ro listen to them. I just recently (a few years ago) learned what bird this was. I dont hear then now as Im in an area where they arn't close enough. My cats enjoyed this audio. Haha thank you for posting
This takes me back to my childhood. I have a pair about 100 feet from my house in a neighbors tree. Your recording is much better than what I have been able to achieve and I want to thank you so much for this post. They love to burn the midnight oil this time of year (late April through May) and seem exceptionally creative.
Some of my most beloved British bird sounds and songs- in no particular order. 1. Blackbird. 2.Nightingale. 3. Song thrush. 4. Curlew. 5.Peewit. 6. Mistle Thrush. 6. Redshank. 7. Swift. 8. Reed Warbler.9. Young common buzzard.10.Bugling Bewick's Swan. Enjoy. I love your Hermit Thrush and Mockingbird.
When I was a teen in Texas we had a mockingbird that would come to our tree right outside our back porch. It would call so loud in the middle of the night it would wake all of us up. My dad went outside in his pj's and tried to spray the bird with a hose. It did not work 😂
Guyglowmore, yes, that's what they look like -- thrashers. That was delightful; I now realize I've heard them occasionally, but didn't know what they were. Sweet! Thank you.
Amazing! we don't get them here [UK] but one day from 5am-9 pm, there were two[ or three ?]blackbirds having a turf war, with the ''warning'' calls that were actually disturbing to listen to, as in unsettling. It was so loud, and they were so angry. Someone must have ''backed down'' as peace regained, with the more tuneful and melodious blackbird song [from one bird]. Blackbirds in summer [dawn chorus] I love.
Dear June: Can't say enough good about N.Z. trip and the lovely Kiwis (people). I know this isn't mockingbird related, but have to say I LOVED the keas. Saw them up at a hostel located at top of ??? Pass? The pass that connects west to east N.Z. The keas were eating shoes, stripping cars of rubber bits. I fed them apples and such -----and they left my car alone! I like to think we communicated somehow. Thanks for into on tuis. I love everything bird. Kingfishers. Wow. A favorite.
His little grey brother the catbird sings all day once he shows up in spring a day I wait for and mark His style is more funky and jazzy and non linear. For my money he's every bit as good. My favorite songbird
Soon our Big Beautiful Feathered Boys & Girls are due back in town, here in Port Costa - Northern California... I Can't Wait!!! 🐦 Yes, all night long & into the wee hours of morning, we are obliged to bask in the sweet sounds of our Mocking Birds in Spring & Summer! In Mid-Summer, they sing during the day instead of @ night time, & you can clearly hear them mocking car alarms & horns too, but the best of the best is a melodic song they repeat back & forth to one another [is my favorite song of theirs]... I whistle along 🎶 I Look So Forward To Their Return Every Year!!! Hurry Up, Spring... 🌱🌷☘🌼🍃 My most favorite time to hear them is in the very early mornings on hot summer eves... We'll go for walks throughout the night because it's too darn hot to sleep, & they Serinade us as we walk - Neighbors also walk & comment on our Whistling Nightingales 🎵 They're the BEST Part Of Mother Nature on our Hot Summer Evenings🌺 - they & cool breezes from our Bay! They're songs are so Beautiful... makes us feel like ~ Everything Is Fine With Our World! [Sorry if this comment was too positive, UA-camland, lmbo 😁]
once I moved to southern Missouri it took me a while to get used to these while trying to sleep and Cardinals as they used to sing all the time outside my apt window but after a while I got used to them, anyone who has never heard a Cardinal, for their size they are really really loud.
I have had mockingbirds that sang only at night, and ones that sand during the day, I have read that non dominant males generally sing at night. They are ferocious birds that had all 3 of my cats terrified one summer as they dive bombed them non stop. The cats had to resort to ducking from bush to bush. Lol A very entertaining summer.
There's one that sings almost continuously at the Amtrak station in Cleveland, Ohio in the summer nights. It's LOUD AS HELL, and get this, it will fly along the light poles behind you, and FOLLOW you! Kinda creepy at 0300...!
pretty cool birds, I like to watch them display with their visual short flights off a treetop perch or on my fence. I had 1 attack my cockatiel while she was in my cherry tree though! Aggressive little suckers
Theres like 5 mockingbirds hanging around my house right now im going to go play this for them and see if anything happens. Ive had to bring my cat indoors as well because they surround her even when shes just relaxing on the porch
thank you I have been wondering if thats what is in the tree next to our porch! it definitely is! i swear I have heard it mimic an ambulance!!! very cool
I’m at peace with the sound, it reminds me of being in the mountains waking up to the beautiful bird songs. However my pops is Nam Veteran and there is a mockingbird pretty close to his window.. he’s triggered lol!! I don mean to laugh but he’s so over it because he can’t do anything about it and he’s a light sleeper.
I know that shrillness any time now lol. As someone who don't didn't notice them during the day, omg are the yelling at me right now!!!! It's 2am almost!!!!
I do hope you enjoyed you drive in new zealand there are alot of tuis around my way fantails king fishers,and moreporks . yes tuis have diffrent tones , but a good bird for mimic is the starling.As achild i had a pet kea he was alovely friend.
Beautiful yes, maybe during the day. Not midnight to...well I thought 5am, bit its now about 515am and My alarm will be going off in about 45 minutes! Grrrrrrr 2 hours of sleep thanks to the "beautiful serenade" of the Annoying bird. Oh I mean mocking bird. 😖
I also have a mockinbird that showed up 3 nights ago, and now is coming back every night, making it impossible to sleep. If I play your video, will he think that another bird is there and leave????
OMG! That's what I have been hearing for 1 week now, unable to sleep! I am a very light sleeper and that is driving me crazy! I am an animal lover, in fact I love animal so much that I don't eat them, I am a VEGAN! but contrary to many posts here, I am not enjoying or finding this bird "singing" between 2AM and 5AM any poetic as many have described. I read a post saying that the male sings like that until he finds a female. Gosh I hope that happens today!
So funny I came here cause I'm having the same "lil singer" just outside my window now. He's been singing non stop for the past 2-3 weeks now! I actually love it since it helps with my depression.
I played your recording on a little speaker on my back patio and a mocking bird came and was having a competition with the speaker and trying to peck the speaker it was funny!! Thanks for the recording .
that lawyer must have never seen a mockingbird. they are complete assholes who will attack unprovoked and sing for hours in the middle of the night when you’re trying to sleep. makes you think about the validity of other aspects of that book
@@vitalic_drms no, they only attacked if they feel their young are endangered, at least that's what experts say, they may sing alot, but that's because they learn bird songs from other birds constantly, if you really have a problem with it, I have a tip. Shut the windows or something.
@@vitalic_drms you can buy a fake owl and hang it in your yard, it will keep the small birds out. The one I have is about 12 inches high 4 inches wide, flat and has a small bell hanging from it. the wind catches it and moves it and makes the bell ring. They say to hang them in a tree.
What a lot of people don't realize: If you hear a lone mockingbird singing at night, and begin walking or riding a bicycle away from it - in any direction - as you get to the edge of the ordinal bird's range - you will begin hearing another mockingbird!! Go away from this one (again, in any direction) and you will pick up another! In the quiet night hours when no other birds are vocalizing, the mockingbirds come out and form a network that blankets the land. I think it's way more than individuals staking out territory or looking for mates...
The way they seem to be blanketing the land is an interesting observation. Is this the reason why the mainstream media is referred to as the Mockingbird Media?
That's what's happening outside my bedroom window right now. I just went outside to see if I could find it and I was able to a pretty good look at it in my neighbors tree in their front yard and there's another one also probably about 100 feet away. Its very cool.
It is fascinating, almost hypnotic, to listen to the infinite variety. I think some Mockingbirds are more artful in their presentation than others. This one is a little raucous, while others are more delicate...In fact, this guy gets better as he goes on. I do not hear the same pattern more than once in his repertoire. I LOVE IT!
Truly amazing birds. I'm playing this clip outside, and a mockingbird decided to visit my porch about 4 feet from where I'm sitting. She didn't sing back, just looked at me quizzically. ❤
I plan on playing this outside tomorrow while watching my hummingbirds. I often play similar clip of hummingbirds to make them buzz closer to me. I'm curious about this video! 🐦🥰
Tip your hat or wave a hand and he'll jump up from his perch and flutter to show off his wing markings. He thinks it's another mockingbird challenging him.
Even though they're gray, mockingbirds have gorgeous white and black wings and an awesome-looking shape. They are some of the smartest, most talented, and best singing birds ever. They're my second favorite bird. These birds started my love of birds, they are that awesome. Gotta love mockingbirds...they really make memories.
The sun in my face, breaking over the tree line, and my mockingbird singing just exactly like this one, thrills this old man's heart to the very core.
And mine too!
Me too, Sam! Me too! Praise God!

acehole1a clearly you don't care about sleeping at night. Must be nice to have no reason to wake up in the morning
It is , this is called old age.
I am going to do that tomorrow and escape from Covid-19's world. A book, iced tea, spring, and the soothing sounds of nature.
i can't sleep when its loud. and its always loud.

Something strange and beautiful and immeasurably sad about that.

Wow, Axel! How cool! Thanks for sharing that!
I love this. He is singing simply for joy. Makes me grateful to have hearing ears. Thank you for the recording.

How many calls, or "mocks", does an average Mockingbird use?
Anybody know? Fascinating.
I can only recognize a few. :(

qué belleza! gracias mil por compartir
Beautiful sound to wake up to.
Mockingbirds are the Frank Caliendo of the bird family.
I can hear it's imitation of other birds and it's cute.
Gawd, if only you could turn them off until a respectable hour, like an alarm clock! Love how they like to vocalize and enjoy varying their song!
I have had mockingbirds that sang only at night, and ones that sand during the day, I have read that non dominant males generally sing at night. They are ferocious birds that had all 3 of my cats terrified one summer as they dive bombed them non stop. The cats had to resort to ducking from bush to bush. Lol A very entertaining summer.
i own one of these birds and he is currently pretty young so he keeps on chirping in a confused way whenever i show him this
yea i hear them singing at night reallly awesome.
I have one that starts up about 11pm every night and goes for hours, LOUDLY!
There's one that sings almost continuously at the Amtrak station in Cleveland, Ohio in the summer nights. It's LOUD AS HELL, and get this, it will fly along the light poles behind you, and FOLLOW you! Kinda creepy at 0300...!
pretty cool birds, I like to watch them display with their visual short flights off a treetop perch or on my fence. I had 1 attack my cockatiel while she was in my cherry tree though! Aggressive little suckers
I've read some of those treetop hops are for catching flying insects too?
Theres like 5 mockingbirds hanging around my house right now im going to go play this for them and see if anything happens. Ive had to bring my cat indoors as well because they surround her even when shes just relaxing on the porch
thank you I have been wondering if thats what is in the tree next to our porch! it definitely is! i swear I have heard it mimic an ambulance!!! very cool
I have seen David Attenborough's Lyrebird video......Amazing!
I’m at peace with the sound, it reminds me of being in the mountains waking up to the beautiful bird songs. However my pops is Nam Veteran and there is a mockingbird pretty close to his window.. he’s triggered lol!! I don mean to laugh but he’s so over it because he can’t do anything about it and he’s a light sleeper.
I love mocking birds. This was so nice. Thank you so very much for sharing! :>
I love them. The Tom Morello of the bird kingdom.
lol its like having 42 birds in your back yard but I do understand the annoyance factor at 2 AM. enough already...
I know that shrillness any time now lol.
As someone who don't didn't notice them during the day, omg are the yelling at me right now!!!! It's 2am almost!!!!
This is cool. It's non-stop!
this is my favorite bird
a fascinating audio clip
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful song
I do hope you enjoyed you drive in new zealand there are alot of tuis around my way
fantails king fishers,and moreporks . yes tuis have diffrent tones , but a good bird for mimic is the starling.As achild i had a pet kea he was alovely friend.
Thank you so much.
Such beauty
best song ever
Omg I'm listening to bird songs on youtube. I must be morphing.
This is fascinating
Sounds just like the bird at my house!
I would always have this mockingbird fly on the street light by my house and it would sing it's little hear out, I also heard it imitate a sparrow
Beautiful yes, maybe during the day. Not midnight to...well I thought 5am, bit its now about 515am and My alarm will be going off in about 45 minutes! Grrrrrrr 2 hours of sleep thanks to the "beautiful serenade" of the Annoying bird. Oh I mean mocking bird. 😖
I also have a mockinbird that showed up 3 nights ago, and now is coming back every night, making it impossible to sleep. If I play your video, will he think that another bird is there and leave????
absolut magnifique
When you take the human and his problems from the world, this is what is left.
Cool! Thanks for posting!
I had a mockingbird that did the same thing outside my window at night.
OMG! That's what I have been hearing for 1 week now, unable to sleep! I am a very light sleeper and that is driving me crazy! I am an animal lover, in fact I love animal so much that I don't eat them, I am a VEGAN! but contrary to many posts here, I am not enjoying or finding this bird "singing" between 2AM and 5AM any poetic as many have described. I read a post saying that the male sings like that until he finds a female. Gosh I hope that happens today!
simplemente extraordinario
Where in L.A. do you live?
Nice video.
we have one in our yard in az
Wow. Some sounds it does them 3 times, some 2 times some 6. I wonder if there is a pattern it uses?
Burl lve's did a a great song called mockingbird hill ! I think so did Anita Bryant.
That is how mocking bird teach their chicks all they know, while they are still in the egg
A mockingbird singing the Andy Griffith tune, that's funny.
Remarkable
He's trying to get a late night mockingbird booty call
So funny I came here cause I'm having the same "lil singer" just outside my window now. He's been singing non stop for the past 2-3 weeks now! I actually love it since it helps with my depression.
It’s “ a” depression! It’s not you🤗‼️kick that depression out the door!!
I played your recording on a little speaker on my back patio and a mocking bird came and was having a competition with the speaker and trying to peck the speaker it was funny!! Thanks for the recording .
+ABEL Gonzalez That's great :-) Thanks for the comment...
ABEL Gonzalez i just did the same very cool
Awesome, ABEL! Thanks for sharing that!
I will try this :P
Thanks
Back in 1950 I received my engagement ring and that night the Mocking Bird sang for hours just outside my bedroom window.
That's a Beautiful memory.. It couldn't have been a better gift.
Yikes, JMMlax52! What is wrong with you???
megan cytron its the sleep deprivation from a mockingbird singing all friggin night long
Liar in your videos you aren’t even 30

Very interesting to learn this. Thank you!
Oh, that's so sweet - but it must get to be a little much... and I don't imagine there's Match.com for birds.
Only thing hes going to mate with is my dam bb gun
I’m on night3 of ours singing the wrong tune. No girlfriend for him!
What a lot of people don't realize: If you hear a lone mockingbird singing at night, and begin walking or riding a bicycle away from it - in any direction - as you get to the edge of the ordinal bird's range - you will begin hearing another mockingbird!! Go away from this one (again, in any direction) and you will pick up another! In the quiet night hours when no other birds are vocalizing, the mockingbirds come out and form a network that blankets the land. I think it's way more than individuals staking out territory or looking for mates...
I heard a pair of Mocking birds loudly singing at 2AM... They were 100 feet apart from one another.
Thank you!
The way they seem to be blanketing the land is an interesting observation. Is this the reason why the mainstream media is referred to as the Mockingbird Media?
I tried this multiple times, it didn't work. They're just looking for mates and your scenario was likely a coincidence
That's what's happening outside my bedroom window right now. I just went outside to see if I could find it and I was able to a pretty good look at it in my neighbors tree in their front yard and there's another one also probably about 100 feet away. Its very cool.
I absolutely LOVE mockingbirds, even in the middle of the night lol. It's an entire concert in one bird. They are truly amazing.
YOU ARE REALLY BLESSED TO HAVE THIS BIRD SO CLOSE TO YOUR HOME, THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! LOVE IT!!
I am playing this near an open window, and a mockingbird outside is answering. He sounds angry!
Christine Hedberg Ah. Angry birds.
Christine Hedberg Doing the same today, 4 July 2015 :)
Christine Hedberg cause he thinks some other nigga is in his set
It is fascinating, almost hypnotic, to listen to the infinite variety. I think some Mockingbirds are more artful in their presentation than others. This one is a little raucous, while others are more delicate...In fact, this guy gets better as he goes on. I do not hear the same pattern more than once in his repertoire. I LOVE IT!
Still better than lil wayne
LOL, XD
Hella funny because i just came here from listening to a lil wayne song.
It’s also better than mumble rapping.
Ftw
Lol
I've heard several people get so mad because this bird disturbs their sleep. How can you get mad at something so exquisite, beautiful, and natural?
I believe most of the people that get mad at these birds are people that have jobs
@michaelfowler61
Well, they should be able to afford a pair of earplugs then!!!!!
Afterall, they're working too!
To find a mate!!🙂
Truly amazing birds. I'm playing this clip outside, and a mockingbird decided to visit my porch about 4 feet from where I'm sitting. She didn't sing back, just looked at me quizzically. ❤
I plan on playing this outside tomorrow while watching my hummingbirds. I often play similar clip of hummingbirds to make them buzz closer to me. I'm curious about this video! 🐦🥰
I was trying to play mockingbird songs to a mockingbird as well tonight
If you can hear but not see them, look on the tippy-tops of poles, trees, roofs around you. They like to broadcast from positions of eminence.
Ah yes! There has been one in my back yard now for a few days that perches at the very top of a Cherry Laurel just singing his little heart out!
Tip your hat or wave a hand and he'll jump up from his perch and flutter to show off his wing markings. He thinks it's another mockingbird challenging him.
Even though they're gray, mockingbirds have gorgeous white and black wings and an awesome-looking shape. They are some of the smartest, most talented, and best singing birds ever. They're my second favorite bird. These birds started my love of birds, they are that awesome. Gotta love mockingbirds...they really make memories.
I love them too, and it's probably because they are so reliable in my yard. So if they're your second favorite who's your first?
