When we lived in CA, each spring there would be a strong singing mockingbird sitting atop the roof of the house next door. Those birds were relentless in their song..singing ALL NIGHT LONG! Some years the singers were more melodic than other years..... At one point, neighbors considered buying the bird a trip to anywhere....LOLOL
