Richard Collins: Fowl play or winging it? — bird mimics police siren

Like something out of The Bill — a bird near a policing base has picked up the sound of the two-tone siren and is able to recreate it 

Thames Valley Police: "Officers at our Roads Policing base in Bicester have been left a little confused this week, after finding out one of their resident birds has learnt to mimic the sound of a police siren. From our workshops that test out the two tone tune to officers deploying to jobs, this little fella has been sat patiently observing the noise to recreate it!" The 'culprit' may be a starling or a blackbird.
