Hell, I don't hardly see a crow at all that doesn't have a mocking bird on its arse. I see this multiple times a day. Never knew it was a thing.

I have a love hate relationship with mockingbirds. I enjoy their bs behavior when it doesn’t affect me. However, let one start up during the night and it’s death to all.

The last three weeks I’ve been buzzed by the same damn bird half a dozen times. It made a nest in the parking lot of where I work. I always forget about the nest when I’m walking through and it’ll dart out over me or behind me and make me fig hop! I’m sure someone got a good laugh out of it.

Attacking Rattlesnake.


That's a cool picture. Who did that?

The time I saw them attacking the chicken snake,there were probably 10 mockingbirds involved.

I heard a commotion first,then spotted them flying over and over again into a thick leaved tree,like fighter jets,and making all kinds of racket.
So I moved in closer for a look.
I probably watched for over a minute,they had that snake pinned down at the base of a limb,and were giving him hell.
Finally he gave up,and slithered down and out of that tree like his tail was on fire.
When he made it to the ground,he went into hyper drive and disappeared.

The funny part,was watching those birds after it was over.
They were still riled up,but it was like watching them having a celebration too.

I never knew this until a month or so ago but Starlings are native to Europe and are in America because some guy in New York released 100 of them in to Central Park. He wanted every bird that Shakespeare mentioned to be in America.


As much as starlings seem like pests, they are actually very smart birds. They can be trained to mimic sounds like parrots, etc.
