Better a chicken imitation than what I grew up with. A mockingbird
with a nest right outside my bedroom window learned to mimic all the
city neghborhood sounds when I was little. His favorite call,
interspersing all his baby cries, meows, barks, ribbits, car horns,
ringing phones, etc, was an ambulance siren. He even had the volume
nailed on that one. And did I mention he liked to start at 4am?

Enjoy your "chicken"
