How do you know the car alarm doesn't imitate mockingbirds?

Mockingbirds have nothing on the Lyre bird when it comes to imitation

They go all day and night in SF, fucking drive me crazy

I literally just took my dog out and heard one doing car alarm noises. We’re in a hotel in the city rn but we live in the countryside a couple states over. I’ve grown up listening to them but never really heard them imitating car alarms😂

We live in Texas and have a Mr Mocking Bird in one of our pecan trees. He loves to imitate my husband's whistles. But when I let our cat out Mr Bird dive-bombs the cat! Not sure why....

Must be a city bird

Its actually the other way around, car alarms were designed from the sounds mockingbirds make.

The 2nd thing it's mocking isn't even a bird. Its a frog lol.

iS tHaT a MoCkInG bIrD?

This is brilliant! Animals are so amazing! Thanks for filming and sharing!!

I sat an hour straight thinking "What have we done?" how wrong that was, and it stuck with me. I kept coming back to it, trying to figure put where in the world we had gone so wrong that it ended up here.

That's hilarious lol

Just recently someone on my block went somewhere and their car alarm was going off for hours. Like 12 to 15 hours straight one of my other neighbors waited till 3:30/4 in the morning to break in it and disconnect it but idk how it went off that long maybe they had a few batteries in the car not sure but it was going off none stop for a extremely long time driving people crazy and ever since the birds that live near me make the same exact sound of that car alarm lol I'm not sure what breed of birds they are there is a few different ones

omg this is great 😄

i remember back in the 90s when those alarms were still popular there was a mockingbird that sounded exactly like the real thing. both funny and annoying as it would do it late at night when trying to sleep. the one in this video doesn't seem to do as good a job mimicking it.

Shoot that thing holy

i used to wonder why are there so many different species of birds outside me window.

I LOVE those babies!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

I was just watching this outside and I swear to God a mockingbird right behind me started imitating the video 😮😮😮

I love then 😆 🤣 😂

Industrial revolution and its consequences

Chronically online and of course you sound like this

damn this is pretty - what camera did you use??

Ted Kaczynski was right…

The most unpleasant sound that a bird could potentially create. Mockingbirds are one of my most despised birds to hear at night.

Ted was right.

I was messing with my wife real bad until you started talking. You ruined it! Lol

Heard a couple police siren sounds there too, starting at about 0:45. These birds are great mimics.

How do I I get rid of them on my roof?

I live in kinda rural area, and when I walk down the road, I can hear them in specific patterns.. What's funnier is that they're talking like small robots exchanging some data... We, humans know so little about nature. I can feel their superiority being unable to understand them.

LOL😂👍

That's just the usual mockingbird song.

These little fucks wake me up in the middle of the night every night

Never heard such a car alarm

The town I lived in had lots of mocking birds. They will mimic a cat meow, horn even a siren. Craziest things I've ever heard! Wonder why they don't mimic the humans hollering "SHUT UP!" lol

I was so confused when I head a very out of place “duck”. Then I saw that the culprit was really a mockingbird. It’s pretty incredible what they can imitate.

Hysterical!

Thank's I use it as vocal teacher/ mastering finches

this happened to me in my hometown I woke up early and they were going at it and I was like I'm crazy right, Now I look for them every time I am back home.

Go open the package in your mailbox. Do it.

thanks for uploading and cool turtle

What urbanism does to a mf

i love birds, blessed creatures💫

Reminds me of my own feather neighbors. He'd serenade his lady with his car alarm song in the middle of the night 😂

🙈😩 i got one right here in my neighborhood right now from 530am to 6pm

Nice 👍

Beautiful

Every spring I revisit this video because the birds are at it again. There aren't even any more cars with this alarm nearby; they're teaching each other the damn car alarm song.

I just walked my dogs and ALL of the birds were mimicking car alarms. It's 6:40am here. It is their mating call. Humans have tarnished the planet beyond repair

Saw one today screeching like a Red-Tailed Hawk. So cool.
