Mockingbirds are non-migratory birds of North America seen at forests' edges and grassy areas like newly cut lawns. They diet on insects, earthworms, small lizards and grasses. They nest low in shrubs and trees. The male builds the nest using dead twigs lined with grasses and dead leaves and human discards e.g. wrappers. Their low nests leave them vulnerable to molestation causing them to abandon their eggs, but a parent will rarely abandon their hatched babies.
