Yes Rod,
Any or many of us... The
bowerbirds are regular excellent vocal mimics - maybe all species - I don't
know but certainly the Satin and the brown ones of arid Australia - (or vocal
copiers to be more precise as explained in ref: Dobkin,
D.S. (1979), 'Functional and evolutionary relationships of vocal copying
phenomena in birds', Zeitschrift fur Tierpsychologie 50,
348-363).
