Description
The bottlebrush bush has a cylindrical brush like flower resembling a traditional bottle brush. They are found in the more temperate regions of Australia, mostly along the east coast and south-west, and typically favor moist conditions so when planted in gardens thrive on regular watering. However, at least some of the species are drought-resistant and have also been noted in North American culture
A Northern mockingbird study in 2009, showed the bird was able to recognize individual humans, Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had great success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.
The Northern Mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The Northern Mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight. Males and females look alike, though only males sing.
