Naturalist(TKAM homelearning)

Yeah, Just to state my point, I HATE BLOGGING. okays, screaming over, back to work.


Anyway, here are some information i got from wikipedia about mockingbirds(yeah, wikipedia ftw!!!)

They are called mockingbirds basically because they have the habit of mimicking the sounds made by other animals, regardless of whether it is birds, mammals or amphibians.

Disclaimer: The following arent from wikipedia anymore

Mockingbirds live from southern Oregon through northern Utah to Newfoundland and south to Mexico and the West Indies. Mockingbirds require open grassy areas for their feeding, thick, thorny shrubs for hiding the nest and high perches where the male can sing and defend his territory. Gardens are among its favorite dwelling places especially if winter berries are available.

I guess Maycomb has lots of open grassy areas for the mockingbirds to feed. It may also have thick and thorny shrubs for hiding the nest and high perches where the males can sing and defend his territory. The may also be many gardens in the houses of the people living in it, where mockingbirds will dwell there since it is their favorite places. Plenty of winter berries could be available in the gardens in maycomb to attract the mockingbirds. Well thats a lot of reasons why mockingbirds want to live in maycomb.
