This also made me think of the mockingbird in Failure to Launch. I tried to find video online of the actual shooting of the bird in the movie, but the animal rights activists probably had them all taken down LOL!

The revival scene is funny, too:

My daughter had one outside her window for a while and she also got an air gun to shoot it. It finally just went away.

They can sound like anything - they imitate sounds they've heard.

Listed to this one, including a perfect frog imitation:

Oh gosh, lol. Well, have you figured out where it is yet? If you can discover it's coming from a tenant's apt, as in they just bought a new parrot, then management will have to deal with it.

Otherwise, call the local news? Start a blog on the mystery bird of Your Town?

I'm sorry. I remember my daughter ranting about the mockingbird outside her window in Marina, CA, until it finally went away.
