Certain species of birds can master the skill of mimicking, reproducing the sounds exposed to in their environment.

Only way that could be any better if he was at the window barking at whatever with them.

Guard bird.

Gorgeous pups! <3

Think how messed up it would be when bringing someone new home, and let them hear that bird bark before seeing it.

Fucking troll

Hmm.. one of these dogs is not like the others

Barking out of both ends
cuttysark
it's probably why the doggos are still barking
HoneyBadgersAreBadAsses
there is a mole between us...
Macetheace50
Not sure if three barking animals are enough to scare away that squirrel!
kingqk
Funny looking dog, what breed is it?
dmoneyoryourlife
Something shat on that chair….. not pointing fingers or anything
frankie323
Lmbo. Well, with 3 identical dogs, it is difficult to discern which one may have done it.

Australian magpies are pretty awesome. I befriended a family in my neighbourhood and they all used to hang out in my bird bath.

Except during swooping season. Then they're bastards
GadenKerensky
Actually, that's one reason you befriend them, they're far less likely to swoop you because they recognise you as a non-threat.

ok but how do you keep a bird from pooping on everything?
Hashbrown123
That's the neat part...

Corvids and mynas including starlings are very good mimics.
HsuDoNihm
Let's be honest: Mynas *can* be good mimics, but mostly they're just assholes.
blueshickensrule
Had a starling this summer mimicking a car alarm all summer.
MelfsAcidArrow
I had one near my office that would mimic the commuter train announcement and I fell for it more than once
MissAgony
Trolled by nature
cosinewave
They mimic other birds well enough to confuse ornithologists
Howdidjadewdat
My silly furry friends bark at the front and back door when they hear a dog on TV.
Howdidjadewdat
PS they also run out the back door to bark at trucks that drive by on the road out front of us.
Lassannn
That's a magpie. Unless my eyes are cheated by some spell.
mephiston
Australian magpie, which is actually a kind of butcher bird.
Lassannn
Nature can be Hell. But I do love Nature.

The last thing I need is a bird that barks.

Doing work at a house and kept hearing the smoke alarm. I asked the owner if he checks his alarm, he said "its the bird, my wife cooks alot"
PupuBlue
There's a crow in my town that does. Was so confused the first time I heard it, trying to see if there was a stray dog somewhere.
LukeSiwikDesign
i'll take a barking bird over a bird that shits all over my white furniture. white cloth furniture probably wasn't a good idea in retrospect
SirBonSama
how about a bat that laughs?
KapteeniHai
Coincidentally it's the first thing i requested.

Underrated comment right here. Full of eyes too.
DorkJedi
my mother had a miniature chicken that would run and bark with the dogs. it thought it was a dog.
HellFireBeardMan
How about a cat that barks?
retired2020
and a dog that meows?
RationalPessimist
My rescue was fostered with dogs..her name is Squeak bc she doesnt meow or purr, she makes tiny little squeaky boofs
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
may I suggest a species with a more musical song ?

DoomSquirter
that's the sound I make after I've been constipated for a week and finally drop the kids off at the pool.
Chronozon937
Great part is you could show this remix to a lyrebird and it could probably repeat it back to you verbatim.
jemappelletosca
I have one, and it makes you smile on dark days. She’s ridiculously entertaining.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
Picture please!
ProfessorRectangle
Please post, I love this
Sugarbritches21
Please please share
jemappelletosca
Oh gosh, I can try. She stops as soon as she sees me with my phone. I’ve been meaning to try, I’ll see what I can do.
Sugarbritches21
Hide it in a box
jemappelletosca
A new box would be suspicious. I was thinking I’ll use footage from the home security cam. She’s used to that.
