| | Texas State Bird - Florida State Bird - Common Mocking Bird -Mimus Polyglottos |
 | | There is probably no bird in the world that possesses all the musical qualifications of this king of song, who has derived all from Nature's self. | | | The musical powers of this bird have often been taken notice of by European naturalists, and persons who find pleasure in listening to the song of different birds whilst in confinement or at large. | | | But notwithstanding all the care and management bestowed upon the improvement of the vocal powers of this bird in confinement, I never heard one in that state produce any thing at all approaching in melody to its own natural song. |

| | The Texas State Bird: Mockingbird |
| | It is common for an individual bird to have as many as 25-30 songs in its repertory. | | | The song of the mockingbird is, in fact, a medley of the calls of many other birds. | | | In the above sample audio file, the songs of four distinct species were recorded in the span of about seven seconds. |

| | Georgia State Bird - Brown Thrasher - Ferruginous Mockingbird |
| | No sooner has the bird reached its destined abode, than whenever a fair morning occurs, it mounts the topmost twig of a detached tree, and pours forth its loud, richly varied, and highly melodious song. | | | They seem to move rather heavily, on account of the shortness of their wings, the concavity of which usually produces a rustling sound, and they travel very silently. | | | They resent the intrusion even of man, assaulting him, and emitting a strong guttural note resembling tchai, tchai, accompanied by a plaintive weo, and continued until the enemy retires. |

| | Since most bird species use different vocalizations for different circumstances, I've tried to tell you what the bird was doing at the time of the recording. | | | On these pages are the sounds of North American birds (Costa Rican birds have their own page, below) - not just bird calls or bird songs, but all the sounds birds make, such as wing sounds and bill rattles. | | | They sing, they talk, they whinny and squawk and squeak. |
