Like their jabberjay fathers, mockingjays are excellent mimics, and have the ability to memorize and repeat both bird sounds and human songs. They can perfectly copy any human tune, down to the last note. They pick up tunes quickly, and often spread them to other nearby mockingjays. However, they will only repeat songs if they enjoy the singer's voice (Katniss, her father, and Rue are such people). The Avox, Pollux enjoyed whistling to the mockingjays, as it was the only auditory communication he had achieved in a very long time.

  • Like their jabberjay fathers, mockingjays are excellent mimics, and have the ability to memorize and repeat both bird sounds and human songs. They can perfectly copy any human tune, down to the last note. They pick up tunes quickly, and often spread them to other nearby mockingjays. However, they will only repeat songs if they enjoy the singer's voice (Katniss, her father, and Rue are such people). In the orchards of District 11, the first worker to see the flag that signals quitting time whistles a four-note tune. The local mockingjays then begin to spread the notes, passing the message along to all the workers. The simple melody is ingeniously designed to harmonize with itself as the different voices singing it overlap. Rue practiced this, and may have even begun it. The Avox, Pollux enjoyed whistling to the mockingjays, as it was the only auditory communication he had achieved in a very long time.
