How does the catbird get its name?🐦 They get their name "catbird" because their distinctive call sounds similar to the meowing of a cat.🐱 The reason the catbird's call sounds so much like a cat is to help it blend in with its environment. By mimicking the sounds of other animals, the catbird can avoid detection by predators and more easily find food sources. This ability to mimic other sounds is common among birds in the Mimidae family.🎶 #caughtonbirdfy #birds #birdfeeder #didyouknow #funfact
