The mocking bird sings so much,
says Harwell, "and is such a finished
and versatile singer that people say
he is initiating other birds. But he is
not an imitator. Like human com
poser, he picks up themes here and
there and then sings them in his own
way with his own variations. He has
one of the broadest repertoires. He
picks up the beeping of horn and
the peeping of the little chick and
then builds his own musical pattern
around them"
To prove his point Harwell, who
can initiate the singing of dozens OF
birds, whistles the song of any par
