Yes, and the sounds of human activities as well.

There are actually quite a few types of birds that mock sounds they hear. My Cockatiel mocks the stove beeps, a cat food can being opened, my cats, the sound of humans swallowing.

A mockingbird sings because they copy other birds. They always copy the singing bird.

I have heard that they "mock" other birds to prompt a reply so they can locate and raid their nests.
