The Northern Mockingbird is Tennessee's state bird and a frequent visitor to my backyard and my feeders. They can mimic the calls of many different birds and even other animal species. I have heard the one who claims the pine tree on the side of my yard copy a hawk, dog, cat, and baby.
These birds mostly come to my feeders for suet, although just recently I saw one eating from my black oil sunflower feeder. They also like fruit when I throw that out for them.
