For the Birds

Here on Saddle Hill we have a couple of cat birds, related to the mockingbird (which we also get on occasion) that do the same thing as this blackbird in England:

"A blackbird has learnt to mimic the sound of an ambulance siren and has taken to waking families at 5am each day with the noise. The bird can also recreate the sound of a car alarm, a mobile ring tone and can even wolf whistle at passers-by. But the calls - thought to be an attempt to attract a mate - are driving its human neighbours to distraction."
