   ocr: MIMICRY Af few birds produce their songs entirely by instinct, but most have to learn to sing. They do this by listening either to their parents,or to other members oft their species. Mimics are birds that copy a much wider range of sounds. These cani include songs of other birds, the sounds made by animals, or even the clank andnoise ofn machinery. Among the most gifted mimics are mockingbirds, marsh warblers, lyrebirds, ands starlings. SEE ALSO
