Mocking Birds

The mocking bird is the state bird of Texas.  It can make over 1000 sounds and calls! There are so many around my house.  They mainly eat insects, but in the winter they eat fruit.  Among their prey are beetles, moths, butterflies, bees, ants wasps, grasshoppers, earthworms, and sometimes small lizards.  (And also grass seed)

Mocking birds are grayish-brown with white bellies.  They have long tails and legs and have small heads.  You can usually find them scavenging, mate-calling, fighting, or just singing.

Male mocking birds "compose" there own songs from all the sounds they have heard from over the years.

What information I have shared about mocking birds are the only things I know about these birds!  There is so much more things to learn about them.
