Love it!
Another much-hated bird, the starling, can sing and imitate chain saws and ringing phones. Crows are often hated, but playful and clever. @crescendoofpeace tells of a mockingbird whose imitations of her bleating goats confused her when she went west to herd them home but heard them in the east -- but it wasn't them--it was the bird.
Birds - we often overlook them while focused on CATS and dogs!
