Colombo, Sri Lanka (LiveScience): Sri Lankan Drongo birds are multilingual birds capable of imitating the alarm calls of the other bird species that they travel with. The birds travel in mixed-species flocks that average about 12 species and nearly 40 individuals. The Drongo birds have varied repertoires: they can imitate other species' notes in the same contexts as other birds and also mimic the calls of predators, which they use in alarm situations.
