单词	mockingbird
释义	mockingbird /ˈmɒkɪŋbəːd / noun A long-tailed thrush-like songbird with greyish plumage, found mainly in tropical America and noted for its mimicry of the calls and songs of other birds. Family Mimidae (the mockingbird family): three genera and several species, especially the northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), of North America. The mockingbird family also includes the catbirds, thrashers, and tremblers. Francis gives a similar explanation for the exceptional mimicry of mockingbirds, suggesting that mimicry itself was not favored by natural selection.... Although first cousin to the melodious mockingbird, a catbird's song is seldom musical. In Massachusetts winter residents include chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, titmice, cardinals, and mockingbirds.
