I sit outside under big oak trees in my yard a lot. The birds are used to me. They watch me a lot but don't bother me.

We have a couple that lives in our front yard. When we get close to their chicks in their nest, they dive bomb us and try to chase us away. They are constantly watching from nearby trees and sitting on telephone lines just outside our house. I have video of them chasing away a squirrel that was eating out of its bird feeder. And they are very noisy.

Can't blame them. How would you like it if a stranger kept messing with your babies? Due to overbuilding we have destroyed their habitat and the are fighting to survive. Sad what man does to nature and just laughs it off like it's no big deal. We ought to respect not ridicule nature!

If anybody knows of any videos with mockingbird sounds without humans talking over it, please let me know

Great review. I am thinking of purchasing this rack. I have the 11/4 hitch. Have you had any trouble with the hitch ball locking mechanism coming lose while driving? I have seen a couple of people claim to have had their rack fall out of their hitch while driving. That makes me nervous since it does not have the pin to secure it in the hitch.

I helped scare off ravens on several occasions and a few hawks. They seem to remember me and fly to perch on something above my head and hang for a little bit before going about their business. They punk the neighborhood outdoor cats lol hilarious little awesome things

You think; These stupid birds. You wouldn't try doing anything nice for them? Altho I am in awe of your photgraphy> kudos. As a Human you are REALLY dumb and inconsiderate

We had the same problem, couldn't use our front door. Had to go in and out with a large umbrella until the chicks finally left the bush.

I've never had any problem with them. They actually are very tolerant of me but I don't hang around their nest or babies.

I have a pair nesting in the holly bushes in the front yard. I trim my holly is January when there not nesting . They seem to see me as a friend and won't attack and even let me get close to them. They do make a lot of noise when mowing close to there nest but don't attack. The reward I got 3 days ago to see them do there boundary dance on the ridge vent of the house.

Well it's the mockingbird's house now.

They're squatters. 😂 Thats a beautiful lawn by the way.

That’s one angry mocking bird or should I say troll bird 😂😂😂😂 one day I saw one harassing a crow omg I was like what the he-? The. I started laughing

America: Angry birds. Africa: Free soup

An umbrella might help 😅😂

lol should have got an umbrella to use while walking/ trimming the bush. cool birds though.

I have seen some of those attack my cat here in Mexico, I was amazed when I found out that there are many people that uploaded videos of their cats being attacked by mockingbirds

oh hell no, put on a helmet and smash that nest, arm yourself with one of those electrified tennis rackets -anyone who says they're a pleasure to listen to is insane, they chirp the same crap all day and all night and with them around you wont have any other birds

These are the only sounds I’ve ever heard from mockingbirds. In 2008 I lived in a neighborhood with a variety of birds, and pretty bird noises. One day I realized I didn’t see them any more, only heard these ugly squawking noises. Mockingbirds had moved into the neighborhood and chased off any bird that was pleasant to see or hear.

Lol i had 2 attack me because I picked up one of the babies out the road. 😅 i was running & screaming but i just put it in a nearby bush. I was just trying to prevent it from being run over. They were making that same noise. They were trying to attack my face.

How long do these mockingbirds stay aggressive just during nesting season? They are very annoying..I’ve gotten a few in my area and they need to go asap! 😡

lol

Perhaps if they are getting worse and more and more aggressive and make even just sitting outside a battle ground, remove the nest, dump the chicks to the neighborhood crows, feral cats and local raccoons, and pretend the rats got onto the nest one night. Rats will raid birds nest and eat both eggs and nestlings.

My cat killed one of these things a couple of years ago. They used to swoop down on her, and the stray/feral cats in the neighborhood.

Thank you so much for posting this. So funny. I found a chick in my yard that had been blown from its nest by the wind. According to numerous websites, a mother bird would be perfectly happy for me to put the chick in a basket and place it out of harms way in tree. I guess they had forgotten about mockingbirds!! I had to run for my life!!

Tennis racquet would work.

Y’all I have a mockingbird (multiple) that won’t stop attacking my cat. Only one of them lol it was funny at first but now it’s aggravating and harassing my cat even when he’s sleeping under carport. I know it’s prob protecting nest but when is enough enough? Any suggestions of what I can do?

You gotta admire the boldness of attacking something 200x bigger than it is.

I should have listened to my father when he was trying to teach me to Slingshot.

Oh yes! They attack me as I try to look in the nest!

Been dive bombing by mockingbird 2 weeks ago. So I decided to use an umbrella to walk my dog and it's more worst. All the mockingbirds keep dive bombing non-stop with an umbrella.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I saw a bird admire it till I saw it was flying at me and yelling. Looked it up saw it was a Northern Mockingbird like the one in this vid. Just now realized I was attacked at my work. Just saw the cams and it dive bombed twice behind me.

I have some trees in my backyard and I have a Mockingbird nest in one of my trees. and one time I saw a Mockingbird attack a cat (it’s because their territorial.)

I have two (male and female) in my pomegranate tree. I kept seeing them fly around squawking and chirping, back and forth from fence to tree, to another tree, back to fence... it seemed like they were distressed. Then the gardener pointed to a fledgling on the ground. I put gloves on and scooped it onto a dustpan and then ran all the way around my huge fence and placed it gently in the shade. The birds immediately stopped squawking. The baby is back in the tree, and the parents are always on guard, but they never attack me.

U should of jabbed it when it was flying at u

If I was there with a BB gun 💀☠️☠️ game over for mocking bird one shot

I’ve seen a mockingbird chase a crow (most likely an American crow, but because I live in Florida it could have been a fish crow) that might have been near it’s nest. Mockingbirds don’t act like they feel fear.

This the third mockingbird attack video I’ve seen today… at first I thought territorial about nest but now there are studies that suggest increased lead levels may be responsible.

She’s got a nest nearby since the developers obviously cut down all their natural habitat building your nest. Cut her some slack and stop with all the snapshots…it’s very annoying!

Consider yourself blessed to be living where there still some natural habitat is left for birds to nest. Once that natural habitat is lost, all you are left with is an urban desert.

Great video! just watched one about a museum that has a mocking bird nesting habitat. They placed signed warning people about possible dive bombs fornthe duration of the nesting period. The ones nested outside my apartment currently are definitely protective but not THIS aggressive! The museum says to carry an umbrella over your head and partway down your back. They said the birds dont seem to like the umbrellas.

I've had luck with angry mockingbirds by offering them diced apple pieces. I made one offering and was never attacked again. May also want to check lead levels in the soil, as that will increase their aggression. Best!

I have these in my yard, and watch them attack other birds every morning while drinking my coffee.

Had my first run in with these outside my apartment in the hedges. Sure like to scare ya and keept after you until you are very far away. It's that wig stripe and call that give them away. Nasty birds, but just going their job for likely a young offspring in the near area.

They WILL NOT hurt a human. They are not attacking. They are trying to scare off what they perceive to be a predator. All the bird does is fly close to..or sometimes his/ her body will actually touch you. But they DO NOT peck, bite, nor attack. I have had multiple birds do this to me. It is quite an amazing thing to experience... I too start laughing...I think the laughter for me comes from the amazement that I am the focus of their attention... I think it is COOL as hell.............

stupid people getting rid of large trees which these guys would normally nest in. that noise is her freaking out thinking you're gonna hurt her babies. this whole vid you are just antagonising the poor thing

Omgosh I have them in my backyard, They made a nest in a rose bush next to my garbage bins and every time I have to throw my garbage out… RUN🏃🏼‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🤣

I've had a pair that have been nesting in the bushes at the front of my house for years, but DAMN they've never been that aggressive and persistent.

What you singing there? Get away from my nest song?

The bird like quit recording me you a hole lol. But they will be a amazing singer.
