Introduction of mockingbirds

Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the Mimidae family. They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians,often loudly and in rapid succession.


Habitats of mockingbirds

Their favourite nesting habitat is dense, low shrubbery adjacent short-grass areas where they can catch the insects that make up most of their summer diet.They are also common birds in farming areas, where they often set up housekeeping in fencerows, on pasture edges or around thickets surrounded by open fields. Mockingbirds have benefited from man’s settlement and are rare or absent in heavily forested areas. There are many more mockingbirds in Arkansas now than when DeSoto became the first European to see this land in 1541.

Maycomb

I think that Maycomb has lots of open areas as well as many fruit trees as the Mockingbird prefers living in an open area and feed on fruits and berries.
