During the Dark Days, the Capitol creating a specially enhance genetic animal mutations, also called 'mutts'. One of them was a Jabberjay, which was a bird that was able to fly out, record human conversations, fly back to the Capitol, and let them know of any plans/plots of the rebels. Once the rebels found out how their secrets were becoming known in the Capitol, they fed the Jabberjays endless lies. When the Capitol realized that the joke was on them, they released the Jabberjays into the wild to die. Die they did, but before that, they mated with female mockingbirds, creating Mockingjays. Mockingjays can mimic human tones and notes, mostly song tunes.

Mockingjays are an animal that the Capitol never intended on existing, and now there are thousands. It is a reminder that the Capitol made a mistake, slipped up, wasn't perfect. The Capitol is flawed because of the Mockingjay's very existence, just like they are flawed by Katniss and Peeta's winning the Games, becoming a pair of Victors, and using their own rules/plans against them.

A MockingJay


What is the significance of the title of the Hunger Games?

The Hunger Games: games where tributes fight to the death and only one is triumphant. This is the cruel punishment that the capitol created to the districts for rebelling against it. They consider this entertainment. Catching Fire: Katniss has sparked a rebellion in the districts towards the capitol and it is qickly catching fire in many districts. this is also associated with hernickname "the girl who was on fire". Mockingjay: Katniss is acting as the mockingjay(mix of a bluejay and mockingbird) for the rebels by transporting messages and making decisions. The mockingjay symbolizesthe bird that seems to fly everywhere and has special meaning to Katniss, once Rue shows her the mockingjay call and she recieves a mockingjay pin from Madge. If you look closely at the pictures on the cover of the books, they also symbolize the mockingjay. In the first book, it is just a meaningful pin, in the second it sparks a rebellion and catches fire, and in the third it becomes a full-fledged fire birb. In the simplest sense, Katniss was always considered the Mockingjay.
