Mockingbirds usually live in open scrub pine and oak forests. They have changed their living habitat over the years to mowed lawns and ornamental shrubs, which has an abundant source of food, which are insects and berries. They do not get frightened easily when close to people. Some mockers migrate toward warmer regions south or to the coast.
From their preferred high perch on tree branches they trill their varied songs. Mockingbirds love just about any fruiting shrub or tree, from honeysuckle to dogwood, from cherry trees to eleagnus.
