Thursday, June 6th, 1946 4 It is mating time for the mockâ€" ing birds, and like many bird famâ€" ilies Daddy entertains Mamma ;flohihubwnfl I‘m told the mocking bird has no song of his own. He is supâ€" posed to imitate the songs of othâ€" that story is all "bosh." Be that as it may, he does sing a beautiâ€" ful song. If it is not original, he has a pretty faculty of combining various tunes and giving out with He begins at five o‘clock in the morning and at intervals all day long until the sun begins to disapâ€" pear behind the hills to our west, he entertains us with a variety of warbling, trilling and cooing. ‘The nest is across the drive in one of the trees of our neighbor. Daddy Mocking bird perches on our chimney and at first he chirps, very much like a sparrow. Maybe he is telling Mamma that everyâ€" thing is peaceful, nothing dangerâ€" ous around, and she may take a nap if she chooses. almost trumpet sounds, as if callâ€" ing attention to the fact that he is about to sing. This is followed by a softer thrilling variety of ‘song‘and he ends with still softer tones, almost like a lullaby. In all, this takes about fifteen minutes, and is kept up at intervals, all day noticed, one day, our seventeenâ€" pound cat seemingly asleep in the swing. â€"But, the minute Daddy flew down from his perch on the chimney and sat on the wall that divides the patio from the drive, pouring out his song, our pussy cat, with a bound, got under one of the chairs and stayed there unâ€" til the bird had finished his song â€"and flown away. I presume Daddy has to take care of the family larder, while Mamma has other duties to perâ€" form.‘ Besides he has to keep an eye out for the enemies that might intrude on what he considers his private property. The enemies he has to watch out for are the blue jay and the cats, Being very fond of birds I take my hand work and sit in the upâ€" stair patio to listen to Daddy mockâ€" ing bird do his vocal stunts. I I mentioned the incident to the family and I was told to look at the cat‘s head. Sure enough, there was a bald spot on one side. . It seems that mocking birds are not afraid of cats, no matter how big they may be. If the cat thinks he is smart enough to catch Mamâ€" ma on the nest, Daddy attends to that cat by nipping a generous tuft of fur out of his hide. After a couple of these nips, the cat stays under cover while Daddy is around â€"and Daddy seems to be on twenâ€" tyâ€"fourâ€"hour duty. mocking birds.
