Northern Mockingbird

It's nature's original cover artist: The Northern Mockingbird is known for borrowing other species' songs. But this spirited bird is quick to protect its own, and boldly defends its territory and its nest.

When you adopt one for someone special, you help protect it, too, supporting all we do to safeguard birds and their habitats. You'll receive:

A lifelike plush northern mockingbird that plays a recording of its quack when squeezed
Adoption certificate and personalized letter from the National Audubon Society

How Bird Adoption Works

When you adopt a bird from Audubon, your gift helps protect birds and the places they need – today and tomorrow.

With each bird adoption, you’ll receive a lifelike plush bird as a symbol of your generous gift - along with a certificate of adoption, a beautiful bird photo, and unlimited eCards to send to your family and loved ones.
