Were mockingbird got name

Answer 1

Many birds get their name from their own song such as the chickadee or the whipporwhil. A mockingbird is a bird that can mimic or "mock" the calls of other birds. It often does this to chase birds from a different breed from its territory. The mockingbird mimics the rival bird's call, fooling the rival into believing that the territory is already taken by one of its own.

Answer 2

The term "mockingbird" likely originated from the bird's tendency to mimic or "mock" the sounds of other birds. This behavior can include singing songs and calls of other birds, as well as imitating other sounds in their environment.
