answer:Possibly, this is more mimicing behavior than actual creative ingenuity but….I had a damn Mockingbird that learned to mimic my phone one year. I would go running to answer it and realize it was the bird in the yard, it was uncanny how he/she sounded EXACTLY like my phone. lol I know the pair of House Finches that nested in the corner of our big front porch here were quite creative, building their nest in a tangle of light cords that formed a little pocket at the end of the porch from where the deck lights all connect. It was the prefect cradle. Rock-a-bye birdies. haha
