- A male mockingbird calls out for mates. Recorded this on June 14, 2008 in Grosvenor Park, North Bethesda, MD, USA. This little fellow sang in that tree for a few weeks during that time, exposing himself to great danger from hawks and other predatory birds. He was quite insistent and loud. I do hope he found a mate.

I’m about to go buy a mate for this mockingbird that doesn’t let me sleep at night anyone know where I can buy a female mockingbird
they love to do that 😎😎
I feel your pain. I had one that would tune up about 1 AM every.... dang.... day.
It was in my neighbor's backyard last night, it sounds like a smoke alarm!
LOL!!! I'm not alone in this. Methinks our mockingbird calls for mates for 24 hours daily.
Please let me know because I have the same problem
Find a mate i need sleep
I have one that screams like a dieing cat for my dog to come outside and start digging holes so he can get the worms and grubbs. He follows my dog everwhere and even comes in my house and knocks at my door when he wants in. Also, he was raised by his mother bird but also was fed by a little brown wren, i have never seen anything like it.
They're smart but they can be sooooo annoying and persistent.
@@RaoulPop lol absolutely. When he screams and knicks on my door,no matter what i time, im forced to cave and let him in. Hes kind of a jerk but i like him still lol.
Beautiful... have them in my neighborhood. Love all of their songs. They can also imitate other birds.
yeah thats the hole point MOCKING bird
+Derrick White ROTFLMBO
They can? All they do is imitate other noises
@@derrickwhite6863 up
One of em was on the telephone pole right by my fence and it was mimicking a hawk or something. It went through so many different bird calls too many to count
Quite the repertoire - this young lad is pulling out all the stops for his mate.
I have one here in Tucson AZ and has been singing up a storm AT NIGHT - since April 1 - it's now 10days later, still going strong!
very annoying at 1am
I use these sounds to drive the mocking birds crazy
Me too, it’s hilarious to make them think he finally has a gf.
Haha lotl that's exactly what I'm trying to do now
@@diablita677lol oww that's cold
I love nature and almost all the sounds that come with it. But this bird lived what felt like in the walls of an old house I used to rent in. Every night around 1am this thing went to town for about 3 hours. I would lose my mind just laying in bed rolling over and over. Ear plugs did nothing either, it was like he was screaming these calls at the top of his lungs into a megaphone 😑😑😑.
Well, he's desperate to mate... What helps drive them away is playing the song of another male mockingbird at the same volume and at the same time. Other people have had success playing this video on their laptop with the speakers aimed in the direction of the bird.
He was I'll only bachelor they're the only ones that say night-night I've heard them but not like what you're saying I've never been harassed by a lonely Bachelor Mockingbird
Oh, wow! That was a GREAT recording!!! Best mockingbird "concert" I've seen on TH-cam, yet!
Today, a mockingbird started singing across the road. I opened my study window, and played this track loudly. Boy, talk about an annoyed reaction from the other bird :)
Why? What did he do?
@@Miscy13 I think the bird thought that he had competition 😂😂😂
Just did the same thing. It's the 3rd of April right now. The Mockingbird quit with his ritual song and kept looking my way. He never did come closer to inspect. Probably because I was chuckling the whole time. Pretty sure I blew his mind. LOL!!
They are territorial. They weren't singing before I played this, but now the yard is getting crowded with them. I hope I didn't start a bird fight.
my bird was acting so lonely, then i put this up and she sang like crazy! thank you!
I have a lovebird and play sounds of other lovebirds then it starts going crazy too lol
I love this I sit and play it in the sun when they like to sunbathe. And they flutter around my head and like to stay close by.
I have a family of mocking birds that live in my court yard. Every
Spring they raise their baby's and
Sing every morning, beautiful
Creation from above. I feed them
And and help protect them from the bad cats.
I envy you!
Their has to be a God or some kind of elevated being that designed such a wonderful and amazing creature as this!
this is now my favorite poem
Haha at 2am Mr. Mockingbird is doing the same thing I'm doing. Looking for a female!
Great video! Takes me back to childhood, to waken hearing the mockingbirds. I do hope he found a lady mockingbird.
I used this song to shut a mockingbird up that hasn't shut up for two weeks. If it wasn't illegal to shoot em he/she'd be dead.
Beautiful birds. I love their singing.
I wish we, humans, could call for mates like that in public :-)
Leonardo Baña Zalazar We have Tinder lol.
Leonardo Baña Zalazar lol, in a way we do. Men and women whistle at each other. We'd all definitely have to up our game to come close to the birds. Lol
Eh, today's vile Feminist don't like it when you tell them they're beautiful, or hold the door open for them.
Cat-calls are out of the question, and approaching one of these feminist-cult members in a nightclub to dance - means they can tell you "NO" while laughing with their friends. ....I'm a female, and always notice how obnoxious these feminist females are toward males. Then, at age 40 and still husbandless, they wonder why they're suicidal.
Leonardo Baña Zalazar you’re asking for hell my friend
Humans never really called for a mate lol(youcan ask some random person on the street if you have the guts). Give humans some wings instead and then we'll think about it is what I say X)
I grew up hearing Mockingbirds in Indiana in the country. I love them even though they can be loud!
@chihuahuabulldog Thank you! It is a mockingbird! I kept trying to identify it but couldn't, not without your help. Cheers!
Gorgeous song/s!
Im playing this on my phone in my backyard and i can hear other mockingbirds talkin shit lmao
wanna hear the most annoying sound ever?
Actually very beautiful to hear all the songs in your area recalled by this translator for the entire coastal area. Thanks for sharing!
@Ramirezr16 .........................dont feel alone dude , i have an annoying little bastard that usually starts about 3 a:m ............im thinking m-80 or pellet gun if i can get him to get a wee but closer ......cheers from a small town named tulsa !....................laney
A wonderful capture Raoul of a gorgeous bird with such a diverse repertoire of vocabulary. If only once one stops to listen - considers and rejoices in natures heavenly chorus then one may say one has truely lived 🙏
What a beautiful bird.
There’s a mockingbird in my area who is very loud. Like 2 AM wailing. Played this on speaker. Eventually he flew over and cased the area. He looked so confused? Then I start hearing the video I just played… it’s him! I play it louder until he stops. Problem solved, right? He flies into MY TREE 😑 and starts copying this video. So I play this video while putting this speaker right under him. I pause ever so often to see if he keeps going. Eventually he’s SCREAMING at the top of his lungs. Then he stopped. He flew down to my part of the back. He just stood there and made no noise. I fed him some crushed walnuts as consolation. Incredible sport. He shouldn’t have tried me twice.
I play this in and our neighborhood mockingbird gets pissed
Lol. It helps to make their calls somewhere else.
What is the sound that makes them go elsewhere
did he get a girlfriend lol
Oh to Kill A Mocking Bird !
I have a bird that sings every morning I can't take it I played this video on a quiet morning and that sucker came within 2feet of me flying around my head now he sees what I see now haha I just now play it from my window.he bullied me to leave
Legend has it, he goes from one state to the next, calling for his mate. I sure hope he finds her.
lol, im with you jeff! those little bastards are annoying! if i wanted to hear his ass, i would drive to a zoo or to the park! hope you research is going well!
I got one of these outside my kitchen door that’s been screeching all day, not even doing the nice whistling. Like he’s lost his baby or something. Drivin my cats nuts
Well I'm awake at 4am. Just heard a mockingbird. 💭 Should I play this to wake up those who just got to sleep? The ones with the loud music... My roommates, neighbors. Good mornings!!
Seems only fair to return the favor.
Just ordered a super soaker to try and force one of these guys to buzz off and find a new tree to call home.
I normally love all animals, but a chronic lack of sleep and being driven nuts by this a-hole all night...I've just about had it.
Hey...at least it's non-lethal. My wife talked me out of putting a .22 pellet in his face.
The super soaker should do the trick. Also try playing this video back to him.
Seriously, one here does not sleep I think. He’s so desperate for a mate. I love birds and feed em but this guy needs to move on and go somewhere else, no love connection around here.
Yup, they're intensely insistent, their hormones drive them bonkers.
My cat just woke up to check this out
Nature at its best - the bird mimics a blue jay calling
You see me in the back just taking pics
@raoulpop You are very welcome! I am glad I could help. I so enjoy your videos. I am still waiting for the "cat house" final video. lol
He is related of the our " Sabiá da praia" (Mimus gilvus) from Brazil 🇧🇷😊🐸💚 Renato RS🇧🇷
Is it a Mockingbird? I certainly sounds like one, and I Googled for Northern Mockingbirds and it looks like one. I am in Georgia USA. If it is a regular resident in your neighborhood, you can do some whistling and it will pick it up. I used to visit a Parrot in local shopping center and would do the "wolf call" whistle. After a couple of weeks the local Mockingbird had that whistle in it's repretoire! Pretty neat!
I played this song in my yard and a lot of mocking birds came out to see what was going on.
That's what they do. They're territorial, persistent little pests -- pardon me, meant to say creatures.
Are there gay mockingbirds?
No. The entire point of a bird's life is to reproduce before they die; therefore they need 1 male, 1 female to make them babies.
Oh boy 6 am
@Theamericanstates You're welcome!
Talk about making the male mocking birds mad.I played this in my back yard and 5 male mocking birds showed up.thn they started fighting so i had to turn the sound of.the females sure was looking for that male
My dog is greatly upset over this video...
I just played this video and both of my cats were so freaked out ha ha
@Eric Manley good call mate
I began whistling back at a mockingbird that began singing at night on my apt patio! Now when I want to see him/her it flies right up to me and sings! Is this unusual behavior? It’s the same bird ! It’s almost like a connection I’ve made with this individual mockingbird! Up to this point, I didn’t even know what kind of bird this was! When I walk out to my patio , it’s waiting!
Yes, I do feed it, but there are no other mockingbirds around just this one individual bird that has no fear when I approach it!
Any input from anyone!
It is possible you've made a connection there. It's also possible that the male sees you as a threat and is simply standing up to you. Two quotes from Wikipedia apply here:
(1) The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats.
(2) The birds aggressively defend their nests and surrounding areas against other birds and animals.[27] When a predator is persistent, mockingbirds from neighboring territories may be summoned by distinct calls to join the defense. Other birds may gather to watch as the mockingbirds harass the intruder. In addition to harassing domestic cats and dogs that they consider a threat,[11] mockingbirds will at times target humans.
I played this as loud as I could on my laptop in our backyard and the mockingbird finally flew away- it was screeching ("beautifully calling") out for half an hour and it was driving me nuts. Previously they had nested in a tree by our front door- dive bombing us and everyone who walked by. We let them be, and protected them from cats, but had to remove the nest promptly afterwards.
I can't help but disagree- I hate these birds. I mean they're doing their job but they're so obnoxious and loud.
They bullied all of the other birds away from our house.
I hate having to sit here listening to more bird sounds, but at least it made the mokingbird in my front yard shut the hell up. One just came up on the porch looking for a dude, where my cat was waiting on the other side of the storm door. I needed that laugh today, thank you!
God you sound horrible
since 3am ones been singing outside my window.... though beautiful im pissed about how loud and long its sticks around for...
shut up!!!!!
Thank you so much I finally figured out how to shut this mockingbird up.. I know he just being a bird lol it's in his nature but I got him to shut up now
el pajaro que tienes el mejor canto del mundo amo esos zenzontles son los mejores cantantes
Ok I guess they needs mates... BUT AT 3 IN THE FUCKING MORNING REALLY!!!!!?
Ya you go tennessee
I've heard them here in our N. California neighborhood, amazing range of sounds they have. However, the past two weeks there has been a Robin perched in 30' tree next door, usually on the same branch chirping for about an hour or so before sunset. I believe it's a male and I told my wife I kind of feel sorry for him because he hasn't attracted a mate yet. In the last 4 or 5 years around this time there was a pair of nesting Robins in the neighborhood, they returned every year and used to come down to our backyard lawn to search for worms and grubs. I didn't know what tree they were nesting in and in this latest Robin encounter, I don't know whether it is one of the pair that lost his mate or one of their offspring? I know very little about birds, but I find them fascinating and beautiful, but do Robins keep the same mate year after year? Thanks for posting his voice, pretty cool.
Gosh... hope the solo Robin ya'll had this year isn't one of the nesting Robins ya'll had had previously, having lost his mate!
JOY to those who BELIEVE SHARING SMILES with WINGS
muy buena toma, como se llama esta ave?
cenzontle
Que ave es
1 PERSON DISLIKED? WHY, THIS IS GOLD. I LOVE IT.
GUUUAOOOOO QUE BELLO ..IMPRESIONANTE ........
CUANDO ESTAN LIBRES CANTA MUCHO MEJOR QUE LAS QUE ESTAN EN CAUTIVERIO

Great capture.Nice bird and sound.
At 1am, this is what hell probably sounds like.
This the is way I would torture my enemies.
@neeksaladbar Try it, see what happens. :-)
Beatiful lindo lindo beatiful♥️from BRASIL.
guuuaoo excellent
I use this video to confuse the mockingbird, that lives in our neighbors yard, cause he won't shut the hell up... unless I do!! 😂🤣
There are two mocking birds outside of the house and they lived here for some time now... They like to swoop down and like my dogs butt or like pick at the cats.. territorial? Anyways.. heard a horrible screeching just now... Super super loud 15m.. might've been one of them stuck in the tree? It's 2am.. it just rained.. I can't tell. :(
Some people have had luck with playing this video at them, it drove them away. Try it.
I'm just playing these noises in my park, and litterally a mocking bird just flew maybe 10 feet away, I feel bad tho because theres no one here but me
si hola es muy hermosa el canto
Desde ecuador puedo decir sencillamente hermoso la naturalaza y sus aves

Bella.naturaleza.viva.
The Mocking Birds in my neighborhood , do this at Midnight!
Bird songs really lower the stress. A very nice, relaxing video...many thanks 🥰
Thank you too.
The Tom Morello of the bird kingdom. 🤘
Awesome birb, I hope he found a mate also ☺️🕊💕🕊
UNA MARAVILLA DE LA NATURALEZA......................
He heard a car alarm or somethin XD
how lovely💗
Yeah it's so beautiful when they are outside your house singing from 3am to 9am non stop.. so great
Que bonito ❤️👍
viva la libertad
who in the world disliked this? 😄
hermosocanto
que simsonte bien barbaro.....
He is wonderful :) He is probably also singing loud to drown out all the city noise in the background, and I don't blame him! How anyone can complain about birds singing makes no sense, when NO BODY makes more or worse noise than the sounds of PEOPLE! I moved out in the boonies to get away from the cars & trucks & jets & construction work & machinery & loud parties & especially motorcycles, and BOOM - the people noises are still way out here ALL OVER THE PLACE! You can not get away from it! People have no right to complain about birds singing, imagine how hard it is on birds trying to live among US! Occasionally a Mocking bird will sing outside my window at night and I LOVE IT, I will open my window and go to sleep in tranquility, that is what bird singing is to me. Thank you for sharing the beauty of God's most special gift to us, birds! And especially the singing birds. God bless you, and ALL of HIS BIRDS! :)
I just bought a pellet gun and am currently doing ''research''. Soon I will not be woken at 3 am every night for the next 2 months. God screwed up when he made these things
Normal birds sleep at night and do not keep me up at all hours!!!
Mockingbirds are so dumb and annoying😵😵 l hate them!!!!!!!
Doris Hathaway ,you are the dumb one.
