Why do some birds imitate the sounds of other species?

Although some birds learn their species’ songs in their first year of life, some, including jokes, continue to add their reperception. Northern mockingbirds can learn most of 200 songs, and often imitate their surroundings including other birds, car alarms, and formal cars. A theory is that if a woman wants men singing many songs, a man can do her opponents by quickly adding her sounds around her. Owning different assortments of songs can indicate that he is an older man with a proven long life and safety skills passed by children. An older man can also be more experienced to raise the child or may have access to better resources. According to a study of Edwards plateau in Texas, those who joked with the largest refersoires, have the best territories, with foods such as insects, wild grapes, and persimmon.

Some researchers suggest that jokes can use other songs of species to abide by their territories, but this possibility has not been fully investigated.

In North America, the northern mockingbird may be the most recalled, but famous mimics, like Lyrebirds in Australia and the Australian thrush and other continents. Marsh barbblers learn the sounds of other species on their African grounds. It may be different sounds to attract potential spouses when they return to birth in Europe. African indigobirds also mimics, but for a different reason. Indigobirds are brood parasites that put their eggs in the nests of other species. Sama pananglit, ang IndigIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIR GASA IN EGG niini sa salag sa pula nga sunog nga sunog. Young Indigobirds know begging calls to firefinches who raise it so they cannot be identified as an intruder. Indigobird men also imitate their hosts.

The female thick euphonia is a neotropical bird imitating alarm calls to other species when threatening his nest. These sounds can take the attention of other species that help attack a predator or other known threat.

Some species are not commonly thought as mimics are also sometimes identifiable vocationals in other species. Blue Jays imitates calls of red dots, red color, and wide wings laws, for example. The work of these imitomants is not known.

In some cases, Mimicry can result from the learning process of scared, such as a Wren’s Wren’s wren and a common chockot song singing a song in CtandNuthroat. It seems a greater number of occasions mimics free of charge, suggests that men who learn the wrong songs often fail their genes in the next generation. Choosing against birds who learned the wrong songs can be very strong, so the “mistakes” do not continue.
