The mockingbirds where I lived from 2009-2018 only sang the song of the car alarm. The original species became rarer and rarer, and generational distortion snuck in. It was definitely interesting comparing which parts of the alarm were mocked well and which were outside the range.

Otoh, really annoying on hot nights when everyone had their windows open and the damn things keep chirping all night. A neighbor found if you yell shut up really loud, you'll get about 5 minutes of peace.
