 scarcely deserves the name of mocking-bird because he mocks nothing that

 imitated or "mocked" young chickens, ^d a person whistling, etc. In 

 June, 1888, I examined a nest in which a female mocking-bird was brooding 

 two unfledged young ones : and found that the nest was made almost entirely 

 of bits of old newspaper and writing paper. A State law prohibits the 

 killing of these birds or robbing their nests. — Bd.
